Sring Turkey

[moleman]

Here in my home state deer season is all but over,Im still gonna be chasing bushytails,but i cant help myself thinking about spring turkey season.
Last year was my first time hunting these wiley critters and they whipped me bad!
I was just wondering what are some of your favorite tactics for hunting spring turkey.

moleman-I was standing at the base of of the hill I walk up to my hunting ground this morning. Finishing my coffee and sliding into my rubber boots when my work phone starts vibrating in my pocket!@$# I was "supposed" to have the whole week off but had to go in today. I roosted over 30 turkeys on Sunday evening and was planning to set up on them, but work got in the way for me too. Going out in the morning and hope they roosted in the same spot! Good luck to ya!

i heard one gobble yesterday, so i clucked back about six times, next thing i know i hear leaves rusting and turned to look and two gobblers are coming looking for me. one was stutting and the other was the lookout. one just stood looking while the other strutted, just as they cleared a big oak at 20 yds. i got spotted. they started flipping theryre wings and walked away.  just like spring

***On high pressured lands were birds are both blind and decoy shy***

Scenario: Birds using two corners on the same end of a field. Visibly set dummy blind, sometimes decoys, in one corner and then in the other corner, heavily brush in the other blind positioned off the field up to 5 yards. Has proven itself quite effective.

Note: Have also used dekes, with success, on numerous occasions to push or cause birds to circle wide and into range.

Still yet to be burned as it will surely happen one day.

And for those who say that calling doesnt work well in the fall,Bah humbug!On my way home from a hunt the other day I watched a flock of a dozen from 80 yards coming down on the edge of a farmers pasture.Obvious that I couldnt hunt them and 1 hour before dark,I watched them from the road.I decided ,what the heck call at them.I called once ,they all looked up and ran across the open pasture to 10 yards under neath me standing on the road in the open.Gobbling and carrying on.Just crazy.Enjoyed watching them.I really need to know that farmer!
