Recommend Turkey Guide?

[TNJones4530]

Decided I want to work towards my Royal Slam with a bow, after getting my Gould's in Mexico.. Anyone know of any good nearby guides for an eastern that accommodate bow hunters?

Or someone have a swarm of easterns in their area that want a good tip? Open to suggestions.

Thanks

Assuming you live in Maury County like your Account states, you shouldn't have to look too hard to find some Eastern turkeys close by.

You should be able to find turkeys where you live!!

If you live in Maury fling a arrow out the window you're likely to hit one LOL

Just passing this along, I've never hunted there, and I looked them up online. They seem legit but these reviews would scare me. http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,105690.0.html

Nothing firsthand, but I suspect his business just grew too fast....

His guides/clients were killing over 100 birds a season, and I suspect as the demand for killing increased, the need for more properties increased, and he probably ended up with a bad apple as one of his guides that tarnished the whole outfit. He has had a stellar reputation before this recent stuff. I am surprised he didn't correct the 'guide's' mistakes though.

He did recently kill a giant of a buck.

If you are in Maury county, why are you looking for a guide? Don't take it the wrong way, but there's no shortage of birds around. You may have to compete with other hunters for a spot, but a little work never hurt anyone.

Easiest for me with schedule etc. Not opposed to it.. Just know a lot of pressured birds on public and trying with a bow can make it very difficult

In reference to the link posted above, the man who got killed is not the guy who runs Elk River Oitfitters. He guided for ERO on his families land. He at one time ran his own outfitting business, there may be some confusion here. A guy named Scottie Layman runs ERO. They kill a bunch of birds but I'm not sure it's my style of hunting and I'll leave it at that. Not sure I'd want him to offer advise on "land management".
However he is a nice guy. Most car salesman are nice guys too for what that's worth.
