Thank You ALL
Thank you for the VERY practical and helpful tips that many of you gave me. I think the most important were tips about scouting and about not calling excessively once the gobbler is headed in. Things like that are appreciated very much. Hey, I' ve got tons of genuine ambition and desire and am willing to put forth whatever effort is necessary to bring in Mr. Gobbles. Just need that experience and first-hand knowledge. But, the info many of you are giving me is saving me some time for sure. So, let me ask some more questions.
I will likely be hunting on WMA land some as well as on private land. Concerning the WMA hunts, how do the folks determine who hunts at what location? Again, I' ve never been hunting on WMA land. I' ve learned all about the licenses and tags, etc etc etc. But, I' m thinking to myself, if 500 people show up on the opening day of turkey season and have 10,000 acres to hunt on, how does everyone manage to stay out of each others way? How do you know that you' re not 200 yards away from another hunter and calling to each other at times? ha ha ha. I mean I see all kinds of complications here on this WMA deal. What if I take down a gobbler right when a gobbler is moving in 300 yards away on another hunters call? Is the hunter going to break into a sprint and beat me like a yard dog? ha ha ha. I mean, this may sound goofy, but not ever having been on a WMA hunt, I can' t help but think this could get complicated. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again. And, thank you for all the warm welcomes!
