Turkey hunting tips and tricks

[mfoster]

Things you have done and resulted in killing the bird.

The most important thing I’ve done is learn to shut up when I know he is getting closer.it’s hard not to call when you don’t know if he’s still coming.remember time means nothing to a Turkey.

You hit the nail on the head!
Got to shut up when they're getting close, even if they're quiet which a lot of time they are.

Also it pays to hunt mid day or early afternoon when the old toms will be looking for hens by themselves, especially later in the season.

Well I’ve always struck out on turkey hunting. One day I’ll get one. Hopefully going to go with someone who knows what they are doing to learn what I’m doing wrong

If he’s moving away but gobbling, be aggressive with multiple calls to sound like a flock of hot hens, cut his gobble off, cut purr keekee with a sharp cluck alot. If one gets hung up but gobbling back alot, mix in gobbler yelps and make him feel like another tom is moving in. I have a tough time with gobblers that gobble but overall quiet. I do better when they don’t gobble at all. I set up, sit still and yelp every half hour and watch. They’ll ease in sometimes without ever making a sound. I like to run and gun, by far the most fun.

I can’t be giving out my tips one of my favorite things to do that a lot of people don’t do is hunt evenings. They usually don’t gobble as much, but I have had them come in hammering in the evenings.
