However, if I take a vacation day to hunt in AL, or 3 or 4 days together to go hunt some public land out of state, my daily success rate skyrockets. There’s more than one reason for that. Being able to stick with a vocal bird, finding the right time of day when one wants to die (very important), and just simply being able to prosepect, cover ground and find turkey. Your more confident, you don’t rush things, and make better decisions.

Just my thoughts. It’s a lot about being there and having time to be fully invested.



Lotta truth there. Take a decent turkey hunter that ain’t gotta look at his watch or his phone every 20 minutes and he can get pretty rough. To be able to kill easterns like Owens does is pretty amazing though.
