Great Lakes Guided Outdoors

At GLGO, we have been guiding turkey hunters for twelve seasons and watched thousands of turkeys be successfully harvested. Our shot opportunity is 100% with a gobbler being within 30 yards positioned for an ethical shot. As this is a guided hunt, we do not guarantee you killing your turkey, only the opportunity. If you have an equipment malfunction or miss a bird in range, that is not the fault of your guide. We operate in mid April and all of May and the first week of June in Michigan's lower peninsula. We typically book turkey hunters in groups of two to eight hunters in three day increments throughout the season and can accommodate up to 8 hunters in camp at a time very comfortably. We are currently a one bird state and we guarantee your satisfaction from start to finish with a turkey hunting experience you won’t soon forget.
