i just show up in known turkey areas and locate a bird, move in semi close, set up and try to cal them in. If this isnt working, ill usually setup at a place where it is common to see them midday and just wait em out. I think as much as turkey move around, a little calling would be neccessary even if you do try and ambush them. Bowrange is 30-40 yards and in for most, it would be tough to ambush a turkey with absolutely no calling, just because you can only cover a 60 yard swath.

If youve been practicing, your calling will sound good enough. You will learn as you go which calls work, which ones dont.

The foot in leaves is a great tactic, especially if your hunting near a bluff and the turks are in range but out of sight. I had a gobbler at 12 yards 2 years ago, but was out of sight just over this little ridge in the woods. I started rustling my feet around and within 5 seconds he had his head popped over that ridge peaking, not 5 yards away. We had a stare off, and he won...i guess he saw me blink. Never did kill that bird.[&o]
