Default RE: Turkey hunters !! I need late season advice.

This late season is a double edged sword. Not as many hens to compete with you but the birds now have an education in what a hunter sounds like. The trick to bagging an educated bird is to do what all the other hunters in your area aren't doing. Using a singe hen decoy is a good idea but if you have to use a drake put it in some low grass near her but no closer than 10 yards. Keep your calling to a mininum too, use just enough to let a gobbler know that you're there but not so much he can figure out that you're not a real hen. By this time they've had plenty of experience with hunters who've spent all day trying to get their money's worth out of their calls by using them over and over and over and over and over........... Be different.
I've never seen a hen cluck half as much as the average hunter with a new turkey call.
