Good post BT!You hit the nail on the head.One thing about scouting is not only does it swing those odds of being successful in bringing a bird into gun range by knowing and understanding terrain and your particular birds habits but in todays turkey hunting world it helps in giving you the edge on those that haven't scouted your area such as on public land.Its a great feeling when a bird gobbles you know right where he's at or if he doesn't you still have a good idea where he is because you've done your homework!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
