RE: Greenhorn Mistakes-what should I not do
Don't call too much! Most videos you see people are constantly calling. It makes for a very nice video, but its not necessarily the best way to conduct your hunt. If a turkey gobbles to every call you make and keeps coming, great. I find that more often than not, he's gonna hang up and wait for you (the hen) to come to him. If you play hard to get or even quit calling and just scratch leaves, he'll probably come looking for you. Really though, expect to make mistakes and learn from them. No amount of reading will substitute for experience, but reading all you can is a great start. Welcome to the addiction and good luck!
