how do you hunt spring gobblers?

The more your up and moving and covering ground you will spook turkeys. They will be gone before you know it. Like I said before Ive done both and I have spooked more turkeys running and gunning. So being patient is what I like the best... But thats how I hunt them...

i'll scout my butt off before season opens, then i'll go to where i know some will be and i'll hoot, if they gobble, i'm going to it, making sure i don't get too close, then i set up, i'm a firm believer in being the first hen he hears, so i'll do a quiet tree yelp to get his attention, then it's up to him after he flys down....it's game on....

Good stuff Ma....early season I like being the first hen he hears also or if I know he has hens already,but late season and pressured birds I like to wait till they hit the ground before I let them hear some sweet music.Some woodswise gobblers have a way of patterning hunters on the roost being called at and approach'd from the same direction during the course of the season...
