How can I scout fast to eliminate nonproductive areas without walking for
miles and losing the kids interist?
4) Can we set up in the same spot for afternoon hunts that we do for morning
hunts or should we relocate closer to roosting areas if I can find them?
5) Should we consentrate afternoons efforts walking listening for roosting birds
that we can set up on the next morning?
(3) concentrate on where the turkeys would feed. they feed on acorns(check flats, ridges, anywhere there' s acorns in your area. they feed on insects and green grasses(check clear cuts and fields)(look for scratchins in the leaves, droppins, tracks)
(4)if you can find the roostin areas, then those are good places to hunt late in the day. say from 5:00 till fly-up time. (they' ll fly up on the roost between sundown and dark).
(5) early afternoon is a good time to hunt. to keep the young-uns from gettin bored, you could set up in a feedin area, and call sparingly for about 30-45 minutes then move to another spot and do the same.
between sundown and dark, take your owl call and get close to where you think they might be roostin. owl hoot, and listen for gobbles. if you hear a gobble, then you know where to go the next mornin. good luck to ya' ll.
