re: Noob turkey hunting questions/advice

Start going and listening a few weeks before the season. Get an idea of where they are roosted.

If you strike out on a morning hunt, your next best chance to call up a gobbler is mid afternoon. The hens break from the gobblers and he gets lonely and becomes receptive to calls.

Also, and I cannot stress this enough....you have to exercise the utmost patience with these birds.

Lastly, don’t call too much, he knows where you are at, to the tree, when he hears you.
