I do both, if the birds are hot & gobbling like mad I might run & gun till I hit a bird that comes in, maybe not - depends on howI feel and what I think is pushing it. On more slow days I tend to hunt areas I know turkeys like to hang out in & just wait & call a little & see what happens.

When I bow hunt I tend to be a lot more cautious and do a more slow & strategic style of hunting. I tend to focus on roost areas & then try to get between them & where the turkeys are feeding or struting. With this method a little calling goes a long way. you can hunt out of blinds or treestands, it' s a lot like deer hunting but it does work!

honestly I think it is more on my mood than the turkeys! lol you know in the afternoon sometimes I just feel like I just have to get a gobbler to sound off so I just take off & run & gun. I think birds are more used to hunting & have changed some but also I think turkey numbers are so high in most areas the competition for hens isn' t that high so they really have no need to answer calls so much.
