Default RE: How do you deal with call-shy birds?

Thanks for the information. Here's what I do. Depending on the spot I hunt depends on the tactic. But most of the time I hunt in the Flint Hills, which Bosstom described has a lot of open land, with deep ravines, and hills and agriculture. I usually will sit on the top of on the the biggest hills on the farm and glass the bottoms. Usually it doesn't take to long to find a bird, since I can look about 3/4 mile in each direction. Then I'll find out where they're going or staying, and stalk them. It's a fun way to do it on them call-shy toms. Most of the time I won't even call, so they won't even know what hit them. Last year I shot 2 toms this way. I had 3-D camo on and stalked them both for over 4 hours on my belly and knees. And I have just as much fun being in stealth mode after them turkeys as calling the in.
