First time out.... opening day.
Got out this morning but no success. Right before dawn I got a couple responses from a push / pull call. After it was light out I heard some gobbling but it was far off on a different property. I think I will get some diaphragm mouth calls. I don't like the sound quality of the push / pull. I know where the hens are nesting and maybe the toms are close by. Unfortunately it is on someone else's property but close to the land I am hunting. I sat in the blind from 6:15am to 9:45am. I assume the turkeys leave the woods and start feeding in the fields after fly down. How fast will a turkey come in to a call? Just curious. Thanks

Ya never know how fast they'll come or if they'll come. Sometimes they are on ya in a minute or 2 or it may take 3 or 4 hours. If ya got nesting hens you may want to put in a little more time in the morning, the hens go to nest and the toms start serchin for that call you made at first light. I've shot a lot of turkeys between 11 am and 2 pm. If ya keep yer butt in the dirt long enough it will happen sooner or later. Good luck to ya.

Just keep at it. It will happen.
No better place to be really early in the morning to hear the birds and enjoy the outdoors. |

dont be afraid to hunt the evening either, i just harvested my second tom of the season this evening by catching them going back to the roost. my case is alot like yours though, i can only hunt the evening and the birds are roosting on property i cant hunt. But they do roam into the property that i can hunt and work their way back to roost in the evening.
