Default RE: Pre-season

Bucky10, you'll be disappointed if you think that you can call a bird in by locator calls. Locator calls try to induce a tom turkey to shock goobble which gives an indication of its position. Too much locator calling on public hunting ground can often silence birds as they routinely get harrassed by countless other hunters. Listen for gobblers bellowing on their morning roosts and at fly up time in the evening. Become proficient looking for sign such as droppings, foot prints, scratching and dust bowls. Making hen calls should also be avoided as you can wise up the birds making your hunting season tough.
