RE: run and gun or sit and wait?
Good Question! I guess it takes a mixture of both to be successful. We all like the run-n-gun cause it's more fun and alot easier on our posterior region. But the truth is if we were all honest we do better after fly down playing Sitting Bull. The exception might be If you are hunting several thousand acres all by yourself with no one to bother us. Unfortunately these Video Makers who have turned turkey hunting woods into a circus act with everybody and their brother who owns a shotgun into a weekend warrior. They are the ones to blame for high pressure run-n-gun hunters of the 21st century. Run-n-gun has it's plaace but should probably be a last resort or and end of season proposition. Have you ever been working the big boy on piblic ground and had some redleg beginner blow a crow call from the road trying to strike-up a gobbler. Your 4 hour grudge match with big daddy is over because redleg is too lazy too get up at 3:45 for the 23rd day in a row and walk 6 miles so he drives around a screws up everyone elses hunt. I only run-n-gun when I'm exausted all my other hunting options. I would rather spot and stalk.
Gobble, Gobble......Bang!!!!!
