Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default When do you start practicing?

Your calls?

In my early years of turkey hunting, I would start in late February practicing my mouth calls so that I'd be ready by April 18th. After several years of devoted practice, I only need a couple weeks or so to get back to form now.

How far in advance do you start?

Pretty much start running the calls right after deer season, I would not call it practice as much as addiction!

Right on brotha!!!

Same here. I start messing with them all during the winter months. Not steady though. I hit them hard around March.

I'm getting better at not going overboard. I broke out my calls a few times so far but I'm sure as April draws near I'll be hitting them harder. I can't hunt until almost the end of April.
