rather run and gun, but the gobblers action usually decides for me

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......

I do anything it takes to get a bird down, run and gun, still hunt, stock, sit and call.
