Thanks Yank....Ontario good question,trying to get a bird to gobble this time of year would be futile for the mnost part at best particularly where your at!But some states such as Florida and even Hawaii spring is just a little over a month away!Trying to make a bird gobble is the last thing I would try to do in my preseason scouting anyway, and even than here in my home state I wouldn't try till about 2 weeks before season.Than I'm the type that would rather let the birds sound-off on there own!There will be enough locators and goof balls trying to make them gobble come opening day!The whole idea here is as Yank said"doing your homework"so that obviously your in the best possible position you need to be in but also a prepared turkey hunter gets the drop on the birds before the other guys in high pressure woods!I'm sure your in snow which makes tracking and locating birds that much easier,which in turn if your persistant will determine a pattern!!
