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 Youth Hunt in PA!!!

I went out scouting last night to try to pput a gobbler to bed , lone and behold i come up to a field that i wanted to setup a little blind in for today , and there is a longbeard , a jake , and 2 hens .... after a few moments of me in thebasically open without a headnet on or gloves the hen busted me so i think and started to trot away up toward a crab apple thicket that is like an island in the middle of the field , the jake chased one hen like it was his job , biting at her the whole way , the gobbler followed the other and they disappeared into the brush, i did manage to get teh longbeard to gobble once when i first popped over the hill but that was it..I setup a lil blind type thing for today and then went to the other side of the farm to try to put another to bed for a backup plan as it was 7 when the 2 ran intot he thicket.... This morning rolled around quickly and as i slipped into my blind in the morning i saw a black thing with a red part to it in the field it looked like a gobbler feeding but it turned out to be a cardinal sitting on a pile of hore crap.... i heard 1 gobble all mroning and at about 8 AM i stood to go take a leak , when i sat back down i gave a few soft yelps and a few minutels later i saw what looked like a turkey coming out of the brush ,, indeed it was , a hen , my friend by that time was on his way up to get me as we were gonna setup on the gobble we heard...he noticed a second bird jsut peaking over the little noll in the field... the other turkey then came over the noll and that is when we could see that there were 3 gobblers and 2 hens , i had my hen and jake decoy out , but they didnt want any part of it or my calling , they fed for about 2 hrs out at about 120 yards and that was it , no gobbling , no strutting , no nothing but feeding. they then disappeared back into the brush never to be seen after ... i think ill be back out next saturday on the same field seeing waht i can round up...

Does anyone have ne tips on if i should move to the brush in the center of the field and wait to get them coming out , or jsuut stay on my side and try to call them across , its about a 200 yard gap from the brush to the woods where i was setup? thanks
