Is there any other way.

I thought the same. I always put a plan together before I go after them.



This, I haven't watched the videos but I thought that is just how turkey hunting was. Difference between me and my best turkey buddy is that I like to lead that turkey to the spot with my calling. He likes to get to the spot prior to calling using locators or waiting for the bird to gobble on his own. Both ways can be successful but mine can be more fun.

I don't get bent out of shape over the use of Tom. (Tom, longbeard, gobbler, SOB, and fatherless child can be used...I don't care)



When you mention how your buddy is so different it causes me to think about something similar. I have had the best luck when hunting with someone that offsets the way I hunt. I’m sometimes less aggressive than a few friends. And it seems we both benefit from the other when together.

Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
