MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 23, 2023
Maine’s statutory spring season for wild turkeys begins on May 1, but the real hunting season starts long before. That’s because hunting involves more than just calling and shooting. It also includes preseason scouting, which can be an important component for subsequent success. There’s an inverse relationship between scouting and hunting time. The more you spend on the former, the less you’ll need to devote to the latter. Fill that first tag early, and you can enjoy the rest of the season with a more relaxed attitude. ~ Bob Humphrey
