RE: Cut & Run vs. Sit & Wait
Through the course of the season I do alot of both!Areas I have scouted thoughrly I dont hesitate to sit and wait for hours,but if birds are a gobblin 2 ridges over " I' m gone" !Positioning in your set-up is everything so I do alot of manuevering to get in front of the bird!Even when I take an aggressive calling strategy towards a responsive bird its still critical to my success to get between him and where its the easiest path of resistance to me!Once I get in position I may wait him out as long as neccassary,but if he moves the next ridge over so will I!

I find that I am much more of a sitter and waiter. I don' t mind moving---but I have found that good things come to those who wait. Besides---I just enjoy the peace of the woods. The rest of my life seems to always be in a hurry as it is.

In my early years, i subcribed to the cutt-n-run strategy. Now that im older and wiser, im much more reserved. Do far less callin and more watchin.[

RE: Cut & Run vs. Sit & Wait
I' m more of a " Gun and Run" type myself. I generally try to roost multiple birds and make a plan. IF a bird is working I' ll wait him out of course. BUT, if it' s quiet I like to get going to the next bird. After they' ve been hunted a little I' ll do more set up and wait and call occasionally and wait some more. BUT, I don' t like sitting there for no reason at all, that' s what deer hunting is for. For turks I like to get up and go. You' re more apt to screw up and bugger a bird with the aggressive approach, but it sure puts you in front of more gobbling birds.
