I was thinking since the season is pretty much over in most places, how about hearing some the lessons people learned this year. Good or bad. They just might help someone get their bird next year. I will start.

When you spot a Gobbler in a field and try to put the stalk on him, you need to try to get to where you think he is going to go and not to where he is at the time you spotted him. I find this very hard to do, as you always think you can get to him. This happened to me twice this year and both times if I would have done what I am talking about it would have probably been very different results. I guess this also shows how important scouting is. If I had spent more time watching these birds I would have known where they would most likely be heading. I guess that is why I like turkey hunting so much, because just when you think you have it all figured out they do something you would never think they would do.
