What I've learned about turkey hunting

[Ruttin&Struttin]

I agree with all of your findings.

[MASTERS]

I won’t pass a sunrise hunt up. Yes they are harder to kill....but that just makes me work
harder. All it takes is making the most vocal hen mad and she will lead him right to you. Or catch a tom that’s roosted a little bit away from others and get between them! That’s usually money! Nothing like hearing and seeing the world wake up to the sound of gobbles! Second best sound in nature next to an elk bugle for me

couldn't agree more!

I've learned that Turkeys are *******s

Especially when your caller "peeks" at EXACTLY the wrong time!

Don't overcall, don't overcall, don't overcall......

I learned there is no perfect tree to lean against that does not have some odd growth, stob, bump or imperfection that immediately digs into one’s back or but! This is especially true when you strike a gobbler as you are cutting and running and you require a set up NOW!

1. The turkey in my hunting area have never roosted twice in the same area, EVER.
2. The sun rises 30 minutes earlier on the days I go turkey hunting.
3. When turkey hunting I have the patience of a teenage girl.
4. When You're not seeing anything, just like when duck hunting, walk out to the decoys to make an adjustment.............they'll come in and spot you before you can get back in the blind for sure.
5. Longbows are a poor choice for a pop-up blind.
6. Turkey are the smartest dumb animals I've ever hunted.....If they could smell, they'd be unkillable.
7. Lastly, a fart last 45 minutes in pop-up blind when only one window is open.

Thanks funny right there I don't care who you are. And it's all true!!!

You forgot about there EYES people say they see 3 times better than20/20...and see colors too.

[Low Fence]

Don't overcall, don't overcall, don't overcall......

Rule #1

Same as duck hunting.

Basically your lying and pretending to be an animal your not. And just like lying the more you talk the more obvious it is your lying

[ClayW]

Good stuff!

Here is another.... if you get busted by a tom, there is no call in this world that will cause him to turn around as he walks out of your life. But you will try.

This ^^^^and I am going to add when running and gunning watch closely where you sit......there might be a fire ant mound there, ask me how I know

[riverbowman]

I learned that often when I'm totally camo'd out and feeling like my fancy calls are working awesome, I can't get the Toms in closer than about 50 yards. However, when I'm bank fishing with my noisy kids and wearing brightly colored clothing I can call one within 20 yards making absolutely terrible yelps with my mouth.

[huntmaster]

yep all the above statements are true, funny and disappointing but aint it fun just to get out an witness what we see and hear

[ReydonPete]

Agree with you , they sometimes can get get underestimated on hunters sometimes thinking they will be a easy hunt
I think their eyes are sometimes better than a whitetail doesn’t take much to spook them away
I always think success on turkey hunt can be directly related to persistence
Stay after them
