PA provided some great advice. I hunt both private and public land. Take a backpack full of food and water and be prepared to stay all day. If you can't hunt but 6-8 hours, then hunt from 8-4 - I'm serious.Get a goodnight's sleep, forgetabout the early morning stuff andconcentrate on late morning and mid-day, when everybody leaves.

I don't have the patience to sit in one place, so I spend all my time "cutting and running", trying to find a bird that is alone and willing to play. Two advantages here that I see:

1. You cover more ground, expose your calling to more turkeys, and therefore increase you chances of success.

2. Great way to loose weight and get in shape.

Get some confortableboots and take off. I use a variety of calls when doing this, including high-pitched and raspy mouth calls and a MAD Super Aluminator that is so loud and high pitched it will hurt you ears.

Good luck
