Welcome to a truly enjoyable new bird for you to hunt this season,I think you will find it exciting and challenging as well. The combination of the spring weather and seeing these love sick birds do their thing is a great combination for a hunter. You don't need a blind and chances are they will move on you by spring to where food and cover are better for them.These birds in my opinion are like nomads always on the move. A blind is a great help when Bow hunting or bad weather,if it's raining I put up my Dog House blind the night before in an area I have seen them consistantly. But being mobile and getting in the brush is more enjoyable to me,the blind with a gun is in my opinion not needed or as enjoyable as finding good cover and being out where you can here and see better. Sometimes you must get agressive and go to them if they are hung up. Last year me and a buddy did this and he knocked down a stud of a bird which was 500 yards from us. We got to within 50 yards using good cover and got the drop on him, he was 22lbs. with a 10" beard and 1 1/2 spurrs. If you can't use mouth calls I would have a decent slate call and a box call so you can mix it up and make them think there are multiple hens calling. Both of these calls are easy to use after some serious practice. Keep watching the Youtube and various hunting videos and you will get a feel for when to use certain calls and how to work them. Good hunting to ya and I'm confident you will enjoy Turkey hunting greatly. Remember to treat your hunting gear for ticks and be careful to check yourself after each outing for these little nasty suckers. I use the Sawyer pump bottle in the yellow and black bottle it keeps them dead and off of me.The spray cans clog up and you waist a lot of it trying to get it on your gear,follow the directions it's a good product. I have some good picks in my photo albums for the past two seaons I've been hunting so you will see even new hunters can have success. Later
