Most people that struggle to bag a bird make the same mistakes often.
Call to loud Call to often Move on the bird Don’t sit long enough when a bird goes silent.
Not that those are the only mistakes a person could make. LOL
Call softly always at a level just below the birds interest level if you answer every call that bird will hang up and wait for you to come to him. Learn a few simple calls mix them up one might be the one to call that bird in, simple purrs and clucks will go a long ways. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t made all those mistakes and more. Shooting my compound and my recurve tomorrow afternoon. I’m sure the bows gonna present some new challenges, and a few learning opportunities

Best to have a blind of some kind as the draw is the hardest part of that kind of hunt.

They taunt me right outside of my front door. We’re always covered up in birds here. Turkey porn!

Holy smokes deerhunter51, you better be able to kill a couple, they already strutting in TN? I saw my flock today while she’d hunting 2 long beards. Like you all I can’t wait, I almost like it more than deer hunting these days. I have the luxury of going every morning (and I do) so it does get a little old but I know it goes fast!

I cant wait either. Have about 4 weeks or so for my season to open. Was out shed hunting today and marked a couple roost trees on OnX Maps. Then saw a flock of 10 birds all long beards feeding across a field no hens in soght.
Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

At one time I use to get pretty excited about turkey season, I still enjoy bow hunting them but have had less interest in hunting these days. I did get a license the other day so will hunt them for a few days any way. Last year was the first year I didn't kill a turkey in 35 years or better. Here is another picture to get the blood flowing.

^ LOL! Yah, that what happens here, they flock up till April, then get spread out over 5 to 7 miles from where they winter. I did see a gobbler by itself today feeding in a field.
