Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Connected with an Eastern!

I was able to stalk up close to a group of birds on Sunday at around 1PM. The first bird to come my direction was a hen which came as close as 5 feet from me before walking behind me. She knew something about me wasn't quite right and started putting and purring. Luckily the other 4 toms started to get more excited and headed my way with sounds of the hen. With a few additional yelps from my slate call, they came in on a string, strutting and gobbling. At 20 yards I left one have it.

Nice bird Kshunter! I'm leaving from work tomorrow headed back to stomp around in your neck of the woods for a few days. I got one more tag to fill!
