generally I will use a ground blind (since I mostly bowhunt) and I will either setup in a known feeding area which is on the way to a roost area or I will actually set up in the roost area. Generally I have found I like hunting around fields (gobblers tend to check them from time to time when they are lonely) in the afternoon and if you use 2 or 3 decoys it seems to work well. Generally I will use a variety of calls & mix it up between hot & heavy to light & tame. In this type of situation I have found that the gobblers will almost always come in silent and I usually will bring in a few lone hens as well which make it a lot of fun because they won't shut up!

If I happen to be gun hunting in the afternoon I will generally cut & run using a misture of boat paddle boxes, regular boxes & aluminum pot style calls along with super raspy mouth calls. I also like a tube call for the extra volume. If you can get a bird fired up in the afternoon generally you can get them to come into range.....it's just that you don't get many hot birds in the afternoon! I will genrally target areas around fields, ridgelines, power lines, and old roads in the woods.
