very true what you said.

you have to be out of woods at noon in spring.

ones that get a gobbler WILL stay out without a gun and try to see where they are roosting.

then next day they hunt where they ROOSTED.

some dont even go out in morning, they wait until afternoon, then go out without gun and FIND THE ROOSTING AREA.

all little tricks that are used.

yes, it takes a couple days to zero in most of time UNLESS you do your homework before opener.

i also like to follow hens and be where they are in spring.

i do very little calling, if at all.

i use hoot owl with my mouth and thats about it.

if turkey answers, i walk to within 150 yds of where i heard him and just sit.
