Default RE: HELP QUICK , 1 WEEK TO GO!!!!

DL, this sounds like the same problem most have with birds of this type.

Something alot of Turkey hunters have a problem with is Movement while they wait for flydown time. Most hunters get figety and don't realize it.

There is a number of ways to work birds of this manner, and getting in early and wait out the first gobble, is a start.

When entering the Woods and importantly the roosting area, Noise is a very big consern. Enter as quiet as possible and get close to the first gobble you hear. 60-100 yards is best. Sit down quiet and sit still when waiting out the birds, do not force the birds to Gobble. If you have too only Cluck very soft a few times and once you do this call , Sit very still as the birds in the trees are going to be looking for the hen. Don't call any more untill they flydown.

Once on the ground, only call soft and keep it Brief/Short.
Listen very close and keep an eye out for silent Birds, Have the gun Butt under your armpit and on your knee so you can make a move easyly.

Do Not Call agressive to birds that are silent....BT
