Public Land Tips

[life_is_short_hunt_hard]

tonight once my dad gets home from work, he, my brother, uncle, and I are going down to Wayne National Forest to meet my other uncle down there to hunt until saturday. we talked to my uncle that is already down there, and he said that is very green and thick down there. just curious if anyone has any tips to help me get my first turkey. thanks. good luck to all.

What is the weather like there?
Is it wet or is it dry.

If it is dry stay close to creeks and streams.
Find a creek or stream and walk it untile you find signs of turkeys.
Animals are like us when it is dry they have to get water to drink.
And try to go where it is hard to get to.
Most hunters go the easy way.
So if you go where they don't you have a better chance
Of getting a turkey.
If it is like it is in NC public land.
Its thick over grown but thats where I found the turkeys.
In thick stuff close to a stream.
A lot of hunters hunt the public lands here so the turkeys
Stayed in the thick stuff.
Here where I was hunting they didn't respond to
Crow or owl calls.
If they don't try a duck or goose call.
If it is like here they just don't respond to anything I tryed.

I hope this helps
Good Luck and get a Big One
