RE: i dont understand
I read in Turkeys and Turkey Hunting magazine a couple of years ago the need to get over the videos. They are fun to watch and have good info on them---but to expect gobblers to come dance on your gun barrel every time out is VERY unrealistic. They make it look so simple---but if you ever listen closely---sometimes they even admit that they have been in an area for several days. I knew of someone who was invited to go on a hunt that Mossy Oak was videoing. It took them seven days to get a bird.
Go where you know they are and be patient and still. When you think you better move on---wait another 30 mins. The two birds I have taken this season both came in without making a sound.
I remember my first couple of seasons. Was ready to call it quits---very frustrated. Calling and birds either going the opposite direction or showing no interest at all. Gobbling their heards off sometimes---but not moving for hours and then go back into the woods. But I decided to keep at it. I have yet to see a gobbler strut through my bedroom. When you get one---and you will if you stay with it long enough---it will make the wait and frustration worth it.
