Frank i agree w/ you about other hunters "ambush specialists" that is a big problem, meaning that there are hunters thatsneak in between you and the bird.but i bet that is everywhere and since PA has so many hunters it happends a lot more.. but ive been hunting turkeys for 18yrs now and i never shot one w/ using a decoy(not that there is anything wrong w/ that)and ive called up 99% of them. and yes its hard to get one in PA but thats why it makes it feel so much better when you do get one. PA has lots and lots of turkeys, what are we like #3 w/ the most turkeys?

Well, I've hunted in 17 different states for turkey and my vote is "OHIO"...without question !!! The worst is PA...it has by far the most ambush specialists..guys that sit there and wack em' on the way to the field or to a decoy...and this from a 38 year veteren of the turkey wars in my home state..if you've actually called a spring gobbler in, in PA on open ground consider yourself a calling expert and a real turkey hunter !!
