Oh ain't a legend dead? I still be kickin'......though NOBODY pinch me.....Am livin' a turkey dream long time ah comin'!

Wonder if the bubble will burst next week? We will find out! Already thinking of strategies to what I learned a few weeks ago so Simon - I am in the same boat. Will they be using the same area? YES!
But I need to scout to make sure and spend some long hours in dead silence! Rather than scout for my group of 4 - this time it is just for me........let those otherr guys go find their own area...I am done trainin'!

I wll keep a journal of my daily knowledge and will get back here to share.....

Scouting, then darn good woodsmanship - is the ultimate key to success!
Calling plays a part but a small part...be where the birds want to be and calling no matter if you suck - you can kill one! Ya gotta beleive!

You can only hunt till noon but after that is when you start scouting. Spend time in the afternoon to find out where they are during the day. They may do some gobbling in the afternoon. I shock call may also locate them.
Try setting up next to the roost in the evening & see what direction they come from & then walk out after dark.
P.S. a good GPS will help you find your way in the dark.

Like JW said i like to get in tight and mimick a one of the older hens. i got into a hen fight yesterday morning with a flock of hens for a gobbler but they won and pulled him to the other side of the 10 acre field.
they may not be goin to the field in the morning but they could be coming out in the heat of the afternoon. scout in the afternoon and see how they enter it and how they leave it. pretty much the same as deer. this way you know the general direction they are coming from and how they enter the roost site.
other than that just wait it out till the hens go on nest. then they will be all over.
