Great post Bobgobble....I think scouting year-round is understated. Finding large winter flocks and then marking these areas on your maps or GPS can put you in the money. While these winter flocks will probably move a little, chances are they won't wander too far. With additional scouting a couple of weeks before the season you could really put yourself in the money. One thing I would like to improve on is learning to call the hens. I've noticed on too many occassions the toms are henned up and I would like to learn to call the hens or mimic the dominant hen to get her riled up to come over. The theory here is that get her ticked off and coming your way, the tom will follow. Any tips?
