This last one I got, I watched and kept track of since september 07. Forget the ground take to the trees for turkey. I in no way have alot of experience in turkey hunting either, but have found that quiet is good around this area , if you are going to use any call use and owl call(screech) before the sun gets up to locate em and try to set up according to the direction of the return gobble. I believe the hens are nesting right now and the Toms are all dressed up and no where to go, so decoys would be a good thing right now.  Good luck |
Gonna try that. I think I found an area where there might be birds. Haven't heard/seen any (but not a problem as I havent spent that much time in the woods being quiet). I can see large areas kinda scratched up like something was feeding... don't think it is deer... but there are deer tracks in the AO too. So i think i'm going to do what you suggest and prospect with an owl call in addition to getting into the woods early.
Probably the best thing I could do to find turkey is get into the woods in a treestand with a deer rifle. That should bring out the turkeys and every other kind of animal other than deer.
