Setting up the ambush. 1st Kill
1st Kill, I hope. Never hunted turkeys before and need some help!
Did some scouting ahead of the season for this Saturday and spotted a nice group of turkeys with a big Tom 3 consecutive mornings. They roost just inside the woods about 150 yards. They came out at dawn into a U shaped large winter wheat field about half way up the U and followed the edge all the way to the other side then dive in the woods after about an hour and a half.
The Tom was strutting the entire time and calling to 2 other Toms in an adjacent field at the top of the U. I set up a ground blind, cut shrubs, at the edge of the field about 300 yards where they 1st appeared into the field. Here are my questions:
How early do I arrive
What decoys do I set out. I have 3 hens and a Tom
When do I start calling
What calls should I deploy and how often
Any other advise?
Thanks everyone for response. When I harvest the bird I will tell the story and show a picture.
