Were you hunting in a blind?  Set it up ahead of time, or just pop it up that day?

I just went and bought one of the leftover tags about 4 weeks ago. I live on the same street as my friend.  The Turkeys were not moving much after that 1st snow storm we had. After a few days they started having "trails" that they followed regularly. I did put up a trail camera in his 10 acres to see how often they were using them and it showed me they were traveling those trails about 6-7 times daily, with more and more of the action happening just before 4pm. That may be just before they head to roost.
The blind was set up before hand and after the trails wewre defined, about 14 or so yrds off of the trails. I will snap a picture of theses turkey trails today, its really pretty neat.
