I assure you, you will never run down a turkey, that would be like a coyote trying to run down a roadrunner . You cannot go crashing through the brush, turkeys have very good hearing and even better eyesight. In fall season one method is to sneak, emphasis on sneak, still hunt would be another description, if you come upon a flock don't try to sneak on them, they will see you, if there are 10 in the flock, there will be 10 pair of binoculars watching you. Some hunters rush them yelling at the top of their lungs and some shoot into the air, I do not prefer the shooting into the air. The trick is to get the flock to scatter in all directions, then sit down and call assembly. If you listen, you will hear the turkeys talking to each other trying to get back together, you want to sound like those turkeys. If you don't know how to call assembly, buy a CD or tape and learn it, it is important for fall turkey season. I know successful hunters who do no more in the fall than do some good preseason scouting, find where the birds are feeding and then go in early in the morning before dark and sit down and be quiet., look for scratching showing they are feeding in the area, learn to tell fresh scratching from old. Hunt near spring seeps, they use the water and the small greens that grow around them. If you just go busting brush blind, without scouting ahead of time, you will eat more chicken than turkey.
