RE: Our first time out. Gong to Be windy HELP
It has been a long time, but the first serious attempt I ever made at turkey hunting was at Quantico. Thats pretty much where I got hooked, even though I never shot a bird there. I used to see turkeys there when deer hunting in the fall and gave it a try one spring. I didn't know much about the sport at all. I called some in close but was never able to seal the deal. I remember pulling up to the training area I was assigned to and when I closed my truck door had at least 2 birds shock gobble. Got set up and tried calling, and another bird gobbled from behind me, but CLOSE! I believe I over called a bit and thinka decoy might have made a difference there, but you live and learn. That was probably 14 years ago. After that season I ended up moving north and didn't get a chance to hunt for a couple years, but now I'm hopelessly addicted to it. Good luck to you, and let us know how you make out!
