RE: Small Woods Turkeys
around here hunting small pieces of land can be hit or miss....guess because they get smart to pressure quick and hit diffrent food sources ect.....sometimes they are there.....sometimes they arent.....sometimes they roost here.....sometimes they roost there....not as predictible as some turkeys ive seen.....but i guess on smaller pieces of land they have to be a little mobile to eat ect....ive had some awesome hunts on small pieces of land.....but im a run n gunner...i kinda hate it because if the birds arent talkin im not having as much fun as i could be and i gota run to my truck and DRIVE to the next spot lol....i like the big woods....ill run n gun allllllllll day till noon(quitting time) one bird falls silent and doesnt show in a certain aloted time span ill try one more time to fire him up....then im running the ridge looking for his brother! i know i miss out on alot of birds...i come back to find they were there...or stand up tohere PUTT PUTT PUTT once in a while...im starting to learn when to sit tight longer.....sometimes i just know its not worth it...and to me turkey huntings all about the music and excitment of working a hot bird....sure i hunt the fly down hard.....but after that i like to be on the move.....but you sit still on them small pieces all morning and your bound to bag your bird.....sometimes they dont go far...they just shut up so their girls dont get mad...and they come running in to you later
