Turkey in Cookeville

[EASTERNHUNTER]

Anybody have much luck in Cookville? My daughter lives there now & I plan on trying some spring gobbler hunting

 

[Jcalder]

They've all died out due to the baiters feeding moldy corn and aflatoxins

There's some down Maple behind Fleetguatd.

We see deer behind the Fleetguard building too.

If he sweet talks the homeless he could try in front of Honda as well lol.

Good populations in most areas there. I'd give it a shot. Just know, like everywhere else, turkeys can be spotty

 

[ROVERBOY]

Do they allow hunting around City Lake?

Thank you!

There used to be several big flocks around town. "Progress" has certainly hurt them. Getting access to hunt some of these spots is gonna be hard. And heaven forbid you get permission, you'll be killing someone's pet.


Like anywhere, you'll find birds scattered throughout. Quite a bit of public ground within 40 minutes of Cookeville as well.

Got a particular area you're looking at going. Should be good hunting honestly

Thank you.I don't mind if they're spotty just don't want to hunt a ghost town!

I was wondering about standing stone forest I believe it's called

If you're actually hunting the park, or even surrounding properties I'd guess those birds are educated, but they're there. @Huntaholic lives up that way, and I know several that hunt there. You'll have competition at the park, but if you have private ground you'll be way ahead.

 

[ROVERBOY]

Standing Stone Forest would be ok, if you don't mind driving about 35 minutes or so. Another option might be public land around Cordell Hull Lake.

All the public around here gets HAMMERED! Im serious. YES there are birds there but theres also a googan with a screaming box call behind every tree it seems. My advice would be to find some private ground pretty much anywhere around the Cookeville, Dry Valley, Sparta, area.
