    Default Turkey hunting Truman Lake


    I would like to turkey hunt around truman lake. I would like to use boat and get to an area that holds allot of turkey.
    I also would like to go to Talley bend to hunt but can go other places on the lake also. Is Talley Bend a god idea for a hunt as far a good place to go? Any ideas would be appreciated. Is there a place to stay other than camping at Talley Bend area. How about Oceola? Thanks ahead of time for any info.

    The lake is surrounded by a lot of corp land that has Turkey everywhere. I would get me a map and pick a spot to start and take boat in and make some calls. I hear turkeys all the time while fishing.
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    I know around Bucksaw there is a bunch, last week I was fishing the back of this cove and a big tom and a hen came down to the waters edge and he put on a heck of a show. Might have to pay him a visit this weekend.

    Lots of good places. I go in by boat as well. I checked out google maps and picked a spot well away from roads so I could avoid other hunters as much as possible. Good luck!

    From what I know about it, I wouldn't do it.

    The key to that comment is "from what I know about it".... Getting up early, sitting on the cold ground, clucking and gobblin in a foreign language, walking miles and miles through briars, tics and chiggers... nope... "I" wouldn't do it. Good luck. I sure see lots of them horny birds on the bank of Truman every time I go fishing.
