Default RE: Turkey Question

my suggestion would be to single out the closest bird, by doing some real real soft purrs and clucks or else just stop calling, because if there is silence, curiosity kills the cat. also, pitch the sound out towards the bird, then change it up and point away from the bird, sounding as if you are loosing interest and walking away. sometimes it just cant be done as well. just wait till they move off, cut them off and setup again.

as far as fall goes, my buddies and I have always had the best luck by hunting the food sources, leaving the decoys at home (maybe put out a jake deke), and most of all, be patient. locator calls such as gobbler yelps and kee kees usually get a response for us. just keep in mind that gobblers wont be gobbling, the gobblers more often than not are running in bachelore groups similar to what bucks do in the summertime, so its not uncommon to see 5 toms if you see 1. dont really rely on calling because it is hit and miss at best during the fall, just try and put yourself where the turkey are, will be, or want to be and you should be able to bag a turkey. if your looking fora hen for meat (if legal) its not that hard at all because they are everywhere. if your holdin out for a gobbler then it may take a while to pattern the bachelor groups, so this fall get out and scout before hand.
