All good points,and Kits your right on the money about not having any gameplan can make for frusterating results!I've always felt a turkey hunter without a gameplan makes wiser turkeys!No knowledge of the terrain you hunt,social structure of the birds you pursue in your general area,and what I call the consistency's of your birds such as roost sites,feeding/watering areas,strutzones,and loafing areas,leave a turkey hunter in a guessing situation relying mostly on luck.Obviously the counter to all this is past experience in your own stretch of the woods and hunts gone by!But a turkey hunter that takes to the woods with a gameplan developed by his hard preseason work is a turkey hunter prepared and in most cases is rewarded for his labors!A couple of important points about those that take a good gameplan to the there turkey woods is 1.you have the upperhand over those individuals who didn't and lets face it turkey hunting is an ever growing sport so certainly it behooves you to get out and put a gameplan together!2.Knowledge creates confidence and knowing those consistency's keeps a turkey hunter out in the woods longer even under difficult circumstances such as weather and huntin pressure!Obviously nothing is ever a sure thing a 100% of the time in the turkey woods but a turkey hunter with a gameplan is far better off than those blundering idiots who scratch there head wondering why that gobbler didn't cross that creek,fly over that fence, and come through that briar patch even though he answered his calls!!Save yourself some time and avoid some of those frusterating days do yourself a favor and develop a gameplan.Not only can it help you come opening day,but througout the season and seasons to come! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
