Default RE: Any Scouting Tips?

Hello dragthor,

Always check the trails for tracks and feathers.Where ever you find them, go in the woods that day at dusk and use
your owl call,it should sound something like {who cooks for you,who cooks for yu-alllllllllll} to locate thier tree Roost.
Go very quite the next early morning to the area you located them the day before and use your owl call again a little
softer this time. Somtimes you will hear them FLY DOWN.Pick a good tree for backstop and a good shooting lane.You
must cover your head and face.Everything camo! Now start hen calling. Remember your limitations on shooting, 30-35yds..
Pick your ammo manufacture. I like #4's-3in. You have to practice your hen calling.There are cd's to listen to learn.
Once you feel ready.......Go get UM. Watch carrying your bird on your back when leaving the area,kind of Dangerous
Be as quite as you can when leaving,there might be other hunters in the area and you don't want to ruin it for them.
GOOD LUCK,dragthor!!!


KEEP ON ROOTING!!!
