Our plan down here in Randolph County is to listen in the field before first light...We have a creek that runs 3-400 yards parallel to one side of the field and that's where they roost...If they are tree gobbling, we will try to have a quick hunt down by the creek, if not, we have a couple of tents already set up on the edge of the field...

Our turkeys usually wind up in the field about 8:30, so we have to be careful that we don't bust into the woods and run them off before they get in the field...

Two years ago, we had a similar situation...We killed one bird about 7:30am, by the creek, they were shock gobbling at the thunder...We killed another at 11:00am, in the field...

Last year, they weren't gobbling at first light, so we set up in the field so we wouldn't spook them...We say turkeys in and out of the field all day and passed on several jakes...At 5:00pm a gobbler came into the field and double gobbled, it was the first gobble we heard all day...I slipped into the woods behind my partner and called him to him, he killed him at 6:00, that's the latest we have ever killed a bird...
