Default RE: Seeing single hens only

Hunting quiet turkeys can be the hardest animal to hunt.If your seeing hens,the toms are around somewhere.I know the hens are nesting when i see single hen tracks in odd and strange places.

I would get out there before sunrise, on high ground and keep your ears open.I know that the beard draggers around here sometimes only gobble 1 or 2 times before the sun,and a few times after the hens have left at noon.and keep quiet.theyve been through around 3 tough years and are wise now.and prefer visual hen incounters instead of audible ones.

If you still hear nothing. i suggest still hunting them,just set up at edges of feilds with low underbrush along a creek or where the gobblers usually strut.and wait..and use calling sparingly.Only call as much as the hens are ,if your hearing hens.

or you could set a decoy up in the best open area available and call sparingly.any hens within visual may wander over to investigate and bring some toms out of the woods and to you.
