IMO, the Kansas birds are way way way easier than Illinois birds. I hunted/filmed 3 hunts and 4 birds were killed. Hunting in the afternoon is crazy when you know their roost tree.Set a blind under it and wait. Saturday afternoon we were in the blind for half hour and 2 hens and tom came in. My buddy shot the tom. He went and picked it up and put it in the blind with us. A half hour later, a dozen more birds came in and more after that. Ended up with nearly 20 birds roosted within 50 yards of us.

RE: Kansas Rios
I just returned from eldorado kansas from a 3 day hunt and i can promise u there was nothing easy about the hunt! We hunt private and public lands and most of the public birds u see will haul butt when u call at them! we managed to kill 4 limits but it wasnt easy, especially with 40 mph winds!

Bigangry, sounds like maybe you just went with someone that scouted the birds and knows what they are doing...not to say that you don't. Your scenario just sounds like a pretty good scouting job to me.

He definately knows what he's doing. Won the PA state turkey calling championship a few years back. He really took care of me. Knew the exact tree the birds were roosted in.
