when I started turkey hunting , i was strictly blind huting.I'd go out and make condos out of palmettos and such, killed a few birds that way, then I was introduced to going after that gobble and thats what I do for the most part now....and I have been real successful...but if they ain't gobbling , then I just hangout where i think they'll be, put some palmettos around me and I wait it out.`As long as you're out there , doing things legally, then good for you...
I can see why he posted this...I was missing out on alot of birds that just wouldn't commitwhile stuck in the blind and I'm so thankful I was introduced to going after the gobble....I get alot closer, close enough to where he can't resist me,do my calling, they still come in gobbling most of the time, so I still get to see the show, and I get a bird( God willing)...
Maytom, I use one of those umbrellas that hook to the tree or they can be used as a blind, but most of the time it's doesn't come out...now if it's pouring cats and dogs, then i'll use it but I won't melt, opps did I say that ? I'll melt, I'll melt, lol....seeing I'm so sweet, lol.....
