Turkey/Deer Hunt Questions
Hey Turkey hunters: A couple of questions for you. Last fall, during a pre-season work trip, I saw a bunch of turkeys from one of our blinds. I'm probably going to let my son shoot all our deer this season. Idon't plan on doing any dedicated turkey hunting, but, would love to take one if it happened by while waiting for a deer to wander in range,as well asany hogs, foxes, or bobcats thatcome by...
Anyway, here are the questions. If I put out a turkey decoy and do a little clucking on a turkey caller, what effect is that likely to have on the deer or other animals in the area? Will the turkey sounds keep them away? Or are they likely to ignore it and just do what they always do? Also, my deer rifle is a .243. What do you recommend for shot placement? Head shots only?
