I for one am open to advise. For the last 3 years I have been having issues with either not getting close enough when I set up or like last year being to aggressive bumping the birds.

I have always been the type of turkey hunter that is very cautious when approaching gobblers. I hit a 2 year slump only taking 1 turkey during that time and I thought it was due to me not getting close enough when sitting up.

Well last year I decided to try and get into there kitchen and was very aggressive and I bumped more birds last year than I ever had, but last year was a strange year, I would hear one gobble and think his is he was on the ridge top 300 yards away only to have him be 150 yards or so. It was like the sound didn't carry last year and I wasn't the only one that was talking about the sound not carrying.

I most cases how do you feel about when to setup on a bird?

Do you play it safe and setup at a farther distance?

Or, do you go after him very aggressive and try to get as close as possible?

I hunt public land it has some pressure but not alot, with more woods than open areas.
