QuanticoKidd--I am NOT a turkey hunter, but I am going to try for one this year because it sounds alot better than sitting around waiting for bow season in October .

I can tell you however that Quantico holds a small amount of turkey, and they seem to be concentrated in very small areas around the base. I have hunted the base for the past 8 years and have seen them while deer hunting. The top of the base, areas 14A and 15C seem to have alot of turkey when compared to the rest of the base. They have large fields and powerlines that seem to pull the turkey in, as well as alot of pine roosting sites. Sorry I can't help you with the tactics, but I can help you with where they are located. Best of luck.

It's been 5-6 years since I hunted the base, but there was a pretty decent turkey population at that time. They get call shy VERY quickly as you can imagine.
