[QUOTE="ravot22, post: 2157085, member: 74896"] All good advice! I would add, be patient. I've had turkey come in very quietly long after my last call. If fact, I've bumped a few as I headed back to the truck that were no question headed to me.... I just quit hunting too early. Get familiar with a locater call, like an owl call or something similar. That will help you in locating roosted toms in the AM. Lots of YouTube videos on that. Don't call too much. I try and mimic what I've seen hens do in the wild and most of the time they're not yelping every 30 seconds. I use clucks and purrs a lot and a few yelps mixed it. Pattern your shotgun, most of my shotguns shoot to the left and some shoot left and low. . You won't know unless you pattern it. Pattern it with different shotgun shells to see what your shotgun likes best. You'll be amazed at Turkeys hearing and sight....It's incredible. Again be patient and have fun. I've known people to take several seasons before they bag their first spring gobbler. [/QUOTE]
