RE: Turkeyhunter survey...........
Personally, like right now in the field, I track and I record the movements of the flocks, and look for those bigger, badder Toms. Other than that, I record the number of Jakes, Hens, and the little ones to figure loss and gain throughout the flocks. This year should be great for number increase, because of my controlling of the coyote population. But I personally never call before I hunt, unless I am wanting to locate a flock and track the birds by some sound and tracks. With just a simple locator call, I do not overuse my calls and over-present myself and my movement in both the roosting and hunting areas.
