I started back in the 80's and remember talking to another hunter who was staying at a camp that they rent out to turkey hunters in SE Minnesota. I hadn't killed a bird and was a little discouraged after a few years and he said "This is my 10th year and I've yet to kill one". He said he loved hunting them and although he'd come really close he hadn't closed the deal yet. He optimism that day really helped me and I learned more each year. I've taken quite a few birds since then and learn more every day I'm in the woods with the birds. I've become more knowledgeable with calling and also setup which I stunk at for quite awhile. Just keep at it and it will happen for you. Before my season ever starts I get up at 4:30am quite a few mornings and head to the woods with my camo, calls, and camera which is a learning experience. I call in birds generally where no hunting is allowed around home so that I'm not messing up anyone's hunt and I learn alot by observing them. I've found as I've been around hens that were really aggressive or that were just walking by calling that I'd mimick them and with good results. Listen to the hens, remember the sounds they make, and it will serve you well. Nothing like a live hen as a good teacher. Last spring I was working a gobbler just over a hill and he wasn't coming. A hen came in from behind me and she was really ticked off. Started cutting so loud it was unreal but I kep matching her with each series of cutts and I'll never forget the cadence and sound she made. I'll use it. Sorry for the long winded post. Good luck to all this spring and I hope this is the year...
