yea I have 6 turkey hunters in one club thats only 1k acres, most people couldn't buy a turkey on that place.

I hunt almost solely management areas. With that being said, I aint gonna talk about how I kill my birds

I may be wrong, but I think if those fellers were really dedicated turkey killers , those turkeys wouldn't live long enough to get very sharp.

You're not wrong pal!!

That all depends on the situation. Like is he facing the opposite direction fixing to pitch on the other side of a body of water or something. I'll fly down cackle if a bunch of hens are involved mainly to piss them off and get them to head/pitch toward me. Having a good fly down can be a deadly thing especially on light pressured birds. Must of the time old long spur ain't gonna fall for it but if he does you'll make it to work on time.

Yep private land birds ain't always a push over. Like my situation my birds have been keeping up with the Kardashians or something because they are freaking gay.

Lol.

I’m not as accomplished turkey hunter as many on here but Mr. Ezell told me years ago that if you weren’t saying some real specific to him, keep your mouth shut. I try and remember that. But I will occasionally call depending on the situation. With a tree full of hens around I typically keep my mouth shut until I can determine if I’m going to be in the game or not.

I guess this is to answer both BrentM and foldemup questions. The first several years (started in 2010 or 2011) I turkey hunted I was on my own and learning the hard way. I called if I heard a turkey gobble, if he answered I'd call more.....didn't have much success. It was just too hard to not call when I was being answered. I called too often and most likely too loud. I've had the opportunity to hunt with some turkey killers over the past 4-5 years and learned a lot about when to call and the volume of the calling. I've not had a lot of success on birds early in the mornings being quiet or calling. Most of the birds I've had in range are between 0830 and 1200. Overall, I just realize I'm not a turkey killer but it's still enjoyable to be in the god's outdoors and look for deer sign/sheds.

I’ll be the one to say it........ most people that kill turkeys right off the roost early season are doing so because they happen to be sitting in a green patch that gobblers and hens have already been pitching out into or going to first thing in the morning ever since before the season opened.
I’d rather hear a turkey Gobble a couple times on the ground than 100 times in a tree

I'll take em as the opportunity presents itself
I don't care if they gobble or not.
hunting is hunting.

Shitstirring is always fun on a Friday afternoon.

Land mines and trip wires?

Yep ya caught me

It's hard to get to the birds when you bury your 4 wheeler in a muddy spot in the road.

Ah shut up and get dressed for your date with perchjerker.

Funny!

I NEVER call while he in ina tree. I will scratch to let him know I'm here. Less is more when talking to a nice mature PBT

You are correct they don’t last very long.

no I just low crawls over to the tree and get in pre-blast position
