Default RE: Any suggestions for hunting this situation

A blind WILL NOT spook turkeys, open field, woods, road, they DO NOT CARE! I have proven that time and time again in the field, put blind up 2 hours later, hens and toms 10 - 15 yards away, and closer.

make sure that the turkeys ARE not looking into the sun to spot your decoys, becasue if they are, well have you ever looked down field with the sun commoin up towards the sun? How well could you make out objects? did you put your hand over your eyes to help? TURKEYS DONT HAVE HANDS! They cant see into the sun any better than you can, so have their backs to the sun, not yours.

do 10 times more listening than calling, and only call when they are not looking at you. if they are looking towards you, and you move, YOU ARE BUSTED.

try only 1 hen decoy, I had 5 hens, and 2 jakes out, couldnt get em closer than 75 - 80 yards, 1 hen, get em in close every time!

If you have to set up with the turkeys comming into the sun at you, get a ghillie suit, and try crawling at them VERY SLOWLY, and with your butt out of the air, and only when they are faced the opposite way, even if you get busted a couple times, it will teach you how to be COMPLETELY silent, and sneak on a turkey, PLUS holly @*%$@! what a rush when you finnally get one.

JUST REMEMBER.......... Turkeys can hear you think, and see you change your mind!
