Default RE: BEST WAY TO HUNT TURKEY IN SPRING!

Hunt 'em like deer. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and scout.... that's the key to successful turkey huntin'.

Locate their Roost area and then find out where they like to feed and strut and half the battle is over. It sounds like you've already gotta a pretty good grip on this. Locate these areas and it can be as simply as setting upata location and simply waiting for the birds to show up. Of course, when the target birds do happen to show up.... IF you have a Jake & Hen or a Strutter decoy& a hen, at about 15 yards away and FACING you .... you'll get your shot. With this strategy, you won't have to rely on calling much at all either, an occasional yelp sequence may be all that is needed to seal the deal. Remember though, just like with deer.... DO NOT call if the birds are already heading your way. Good luck and good huntin'
