Join us for Turkey Hunting 101.
Whether you're brand new to the turkey woods or a seasoned hunter, this event is for you. We’re bringing in Matt Streim with Weathered Oaks Game Calls and the Okayest Fisher Podcast. Matt will go over pot calls with all attendees and share practical tips you can apply this season.
The Illinois chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers will be here covering land access, public ground opportunities, and all things turkey hunting and calling.
We’re also proud to host representatives from the Illinois Lyme Association and the Lake County Department of Health, who will discuss the importance of tick protection and how to stay safe while you’re out chasing turkeys.
We’ll wrap up the day with an exciting Calling Contest, and the winner will take home brand-new gear.
This event is free and open to the public. Drinks will be provided, and every attendee will receive a free raffle ticket for a chance to win additional gear. We look forward to seeing you there.
