Things To Do After The Hunt

1.
Clean your gun and remove any camo tape you put on it. Even if the gun didn't get wet,
moisture can develop underneath the tape and it will rust any metal parts.
|
2.
Take high quality photos of your trophy and other aspects of your hunts. If you get
your bird early, take a camera to the woods and hunt turkeys with it. Send your photos to
TurkeyHuntingSecrets.com for publication.
|
3.
Take care of your trophy. Clean
the bird as soon as possible, Mount
The Fan and Beard to display your trophy or add your beards to a Turkey Beard Holder.
|
4.
Thank landowners who have allowed you to hunt on their property. At a minimum,
a personal thank you is in order, but it is better to send a written thank you. Drop
off a small gift soon after your hunt. Keep in contact with them during the off
season.
|
5.
Dry out all gear that
became damp or wet.
|
6.
Take care of your calls. Dry out any wooden calls you may have. Let them dry
naturally. Mouth calls should be rinsed with clean water, their reeds separated with
flat tooth and stored that way in the refrigerator. Rinse out your Mouth Call Saver and store the calls in
it.
|
7.
Check all your
gear. Repair any that needs it. Replace all
items that are worn out or broken. Take advantage of off-season sales on turkey hunting
gear.
|
8.
Update your topo maps with the
information from your hunts. It's so easy to
forget much of what you learned if you don't write it down.
|
9.
Talk to other hunters. Find out how their season went, how many turkeys they saw,
and what tactics worked for them. Don't steal their hunting spots even if they tell
you where they hunted.
|
10. Make a diary of
all your hunting activities for future reference and for the pleasure of reading it later.
