I think you need to add about 20yds to the gun range.;)
Well I have hunted with some grreat turkey hunters, they all say inside 40 with a shot gun. Hell I watch HB guy shoot one at 60yds with his bow[8D]

When I take the Mossberg, it's 40 yds and in;) I think the point being hammered home here is:
Calling turkeys is more about the Turkey:D But W-T-F do I know:D

Jeff, out of curiosity, how many years have you hunted turkeys seriosuly?

So take Run and gun out of the equation and your hunting basically the same way. There are many gun hunters that won't run and gun.
Yes you are (hunting the same way). I haven't claimed differently. I've asked why you employed your calling tactics. I'm making the assumption that you are stationary to hunt turkeys (which is the way "I" think most bowhunters do it).

I'm asking WHY I would need to get more aggressive. I'm looking to learn something. How do you "play" the birds? WHAT could he be doing to make you become more aggressive?
Because, ifa bird is "henned" up, like they get around here...

You NEED to do something to get them to LEAVE those hens. If that means agressivly calling to call in the hens, or the tom. You need to do something to coax those turkeys TO YOU. If not, you are SOL.

Or, if you see a bird 80+ yards out chances are he has hens, calling him from many directions. You want him to hear YOU and COME to YOU. Aggressive calling is what works for me.

Oh, and I bet I can get blind set up, calls out, deeks out, arrow nocked in 1:30 tops. Faster if I'm with a buddy, like I usually am.

I didn't ask YOU how many years you've been hunting, seriously, because it's irrelevant. Because you're a teenager........You always ask us to judge you onthe merits of the info. you provide. I'd ask you why you want to know this.

I'm only asking to gauge how much experience you've got to be basing your opinions on, Jeff.

No malice intended.

If its one or two seasons, you haven't seen half of what turkeys will/won'tdo.

But whatever.

But I think Kyle is a run and gunner with a bow. Kyle what do you take with you? This is what I am taking

3 decoys
ASAT Quickie Blind
Bow
Bucket with lunch and pack in it.

My Decoys are in the bucket also, do you just kneel when you shoot?

First thing in the morning (after fly down) if he isn't with hens I'll get very aggresive and then shut up. If I start hearing hens I'll get aggresive again.

This isn't an opinion I formed from my experiences, Dan. It's MY philosophy I've chosen to employ.....based on a 30 year vet's "opinion". I've simply adopted it for this season.

More good stuff. Thanks.
