Default New Turkey Hunter Questions

Hi Guys,

I am a new turkey hunter, and plan to go out this year! I am going to be hunting in SW Ontario (Norfolk County). I have all the calls / equipment, camo, license etc! I am pretty much ready to go.

Yesterday I wandered around where I plan to go to see if I can find any tracks/poop etc. I first went into the bush and seen all kinds of deer tracks/poop then I wandered around the edge of the bush and field and then found some turkey tracks. I followed them around kinda seemed like they went back and forth (sounds like the path they take). As the sun was coming down I started to walk back and I brought a mouth call, did a few yelps and kept walking, I then heard a gobble in the bush, got all excited at this point! I kept walking and did a few more yelps, some low ones some loud some aggressive... and heard more gobbles. I was able to hear where they where coming from for at least a good idea. (same location where I walked into the bush earlier or very close to that)

After doing some research I found they they can gobble from crow or owl calls so I am wondering if they are gobbling from me making a turkey call but not maybe sounding like a turkey... ? lol or would they gobble if I am maybe being a loud aggressive yelp which may tick them off?

Also please see the image attached, id like advice on where to set up and set decoys!! the red line is approx 150 yards to give an idea of distance as well as the decoys are approx 40 yards away from where im proposed set up.

Thanks
Nick
