Turkey hunting can be very fun and exciting, especially when you hear one gobbling and coming your way. It can be a challenge though. Finding a mature tom and then hunting him can be a task, it's even harder when they are getting pressured by other hunters. When we are hunting pressured areas, we start with soft yelps and we can usually get one to gobble back. If they don't gobble that does not mean they aren't around. Make sure when you start calling you have a face mask and gloves on. Be prepared for one to come your way because a lot of times they will come in silent. We always make sure we are well hid from them. Hunting out of a ground blind is an excellent choice but when that isn't a choice, sit next to a tree and make some cover with leaves and sticks. Great camouflage is essential to staying hid as well, we use God's Country Camo and we have great success with there patterns. There late season pattern is great when its early in the season and there isn't any leaves on the trees and when the leaves are on the trees there early season pattern is a great option. Listening for Turkeys scratching while your sitting or walking is very important. When you know your in the area where they are using, if you are walking, walk really slow and make all your movements slow and listen for them scratching, if your sitting and there not gobbling or yelping, listen really closely for them scratching. This has helped us many times to pinpoint exactly where there at. If the turkeys aren't doing much gobbling or yelping, we always do soft yelps. If they are making a lot of noise we tend to get more aggressive with our calling. When its raining, turkeys usually don't make much or if any noise at all, we usually hunt food plots or fields in these conditions. They almost always produce turkeys. While your out turkey hunting try these tips and techniques, happy hunting.
