RE: Hunting Pressured Areas
Sxout yor heart out as yo have time - do not call at all but find where birds want to be during different parts of the day. look for roost areas, feeding areas and strut areas.
Then arrive way before daylight - sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee as the birds wake up and tell you where they are.
ThenI will pick one a go after it and call ever so softly. Most timesI do not call at all but let the bird tell me when it is callable.
I love pressured areas - with woodsense and patience - a tom will be yours. But you have to scout and develop a pattern.
Now calls to use. - I would get a box call - and a pot call. both not that expensive - and send me a PM with your address........I have a call for you!
