quick question
hi i am new here.
I have a good question on hunting Turkeys in the west, Last spring we had a setting hen come in our camp and drink every day for a half hour or so and she would go back to her nest. This got me thinking about hunting Toms by a water hole or setting up by a water hole, My question is has any of you avid turkey hunters ever tried the water hole ? now remember here in Utah we don't have a creek or stream or pond in every low spot there is, I have been to up state New York, Mass.,Kenn.,Tenn. and I have never seen so much water, Water is a good place to be for deer and elk out here, But what about Turkey's?

In western Oklahoma where I do most of my hunting a water hole can be a good place to set up. I see most of the birds around them shortly after fly down, mid day if its a warm day and then a few hours before they go to roost. If the hens are visiting them then you can be sure the Toms will be also
