I can't stand it anymore. I have another month before my season starts, but I've gotta get into the woods SOON. I don't hunt too close to where I live, so I won't really be able to keep tabs on the birds, but figured I'd at least get out to see if I can hear some gobbling and locate some roost sites. I plan to bring an owl hooter and my trusty crow call, but since the season won't start for a while, I figure I'm safe from other hunters if I use a gobble shaker to make one sound off. During the season, I won't be using one, so I'm not afraid about educating the birds to the gobble call. Does anyone use gobble calls for scouting? If not, why not. What about other locators? Just curious on your opinions.
