Please post some of your expert advise for us rookies on callin in a gobbler.

thanks

im no pro but my best advice is to team up w/ an experienced turkey hunter that dont mind not being the trigger man on every hunt. if you are on some birds and will take turns doing the shooting most good turkey hunters will be glad to join you. that has worked really good for me. there is nothing like being there when it happens.

I would have you buy some assortment of calls and have you practice using them. Study some good video tapes. And yes, try to find a veteran turkey hunter who will be willing to teach you properly. Just remember, theer are no set rules for any hunting situation, just some that work more than others. The only other thing is to be out in the woods, with or without a veteran hunter.....This is what they mean by "O_J_T" or "On the Job Training". Good Luck!!

I hunt in Missouri north of Weston, don't live to far from you. Would be happy to help you out; I have enough ground and time to get my birds. I always enjoy showin' a new hunter the ropes. If your interested let me know, I normally like to meet the people I'm hunting with. So we would have to get together before Kansas season opens.

Live, breathe, sleep, & dream for the hunt.

Hey Gunner! I am just a stones throw from you both too! If you need me to call and video tape the hunt for him, just let me know! You two can do all of the shooting!

Thanks for the offers on showin me the ropes, but i kind of expected a differnt answer from this post, i worded it worng. but gunner & richie, if your still lookin for a partner id be glad to help as long as your in the area.ive hunted turkeys for 2 yrs now but was posting for all these other guys who kept askin questions. but im not the best caller either.

Hey gunner, I am from overland park and was wondering if you and the other guys from this area would like to meet and maybe pattern guns. I just bought a Benelli Nova and Mad call 665 choke and if you other guys are interested we could meet and share info,I am hunting for the second year in a row and could use any info!!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Are you turning blue yet?

just remember that sometimes calling may not be the best way to go. if the birds are not gobbling & you are having a hard time calling in birds due to preassure then change your plan & wait them out. get between a roasting & feeding area & just sit tight. it's not much fun but it beats going home without a gobbler!
