I set up a ground blind of cut shrubs at the edge of the field about 300 yards where they 1st appeared into the field. Here are my questions:
First of all you should be setup right where they come into the field.
How early do I arrive. At least an hour before sunrise
What decoys do I set out. I have 3 hens and a Tom. I'd start with none. They may spook.
When do I start calling. Don't
What calls should I deploy and how often. Don't
Any other advise?
If you have the bird this well patterned, just show up. Anything out of the ordinary may affect their pattern. If you are unsuccessful after the initial fly down, then resort to decoying and calling.
Thanks everyone for response. When I harvest the bird I will tell the story and show a picture. [/quote]
