This spring will be my first go at turkey hunting..

Got any Tips??

SCOUT, SCOUT SCOUT!!! The better you know where the birds roost and move, the better your chances of being where they are.

Buy a couple of different type of calls and practice (BUT NOT ON REAL BIRDS BEFORE THE SEASON!).

scout be patient practice calling not only yelping but soft clucks and purrs be prepared to get addicted

welcome to the most addicted hunting there is.love it one day hate the next, i learned more from trail and error. #1 rule, don't move,he'll see you first, good luck and enjoy.

This will be my first year for turkey as well. I have a couple of nice pieces of land to hunt deer on, but have never seen or heard any turkeys. I talked to one of our local DNR guys about how to locate them and he said that this time of year they won't respond to owl or crow locator calls...or anything else for that matter. I'm just trying to get an idea if there are any birds in these areas. I have not seen any of the huge "scrape areas" that I'm told they make when looking for food.
Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.
