Default Turkey tips

now that the season's getting close how about we put out our best turkey tips. that doesn't mean we have to leave it to one apiece.
i suppose i'll start...

take the sling off of your gun once you get to your spot. if you don't when you pull you gun up to shoot the sling will swing and you're more likely to get spotted by a bird because of the excess movement.

Don't over call, take the gobblers temperature and give him only what he wants to hear.....if he shuts up, slow down, he might be coming in silent.

If a gobbler hangs up or hens up, you can gobble at him a time or two, sometimes that'll bring him in.
However, be very careful and make sure no other hunters are in the area,becausethey willHUNT you!!!

for you bow hunters, do some practicing in full hunting gear and shooting out of your blind.

This is a take-off from Ultimags reply.....Scout now...knowing where that birds going from doing your homework can save the day from a more frusterating experience.You can have all the best gear in the world but having a place to go with birds to work is where all starts and wherethat gear is going to work!!
