Blend In For Turkey Success
Turkey Hunting Tip:
The wild turkey is famously known in nature for having a keen sense of eyesight. The best way to counter act this while turkey hunting is to blend in with the terrain that you are hunting. Make sure you conceal yourself with camouflage from head to foot. While in the field, try to set up your hunting location by using the natural cover provided. Use under growth, limbs, and shadows to your advantage. Never set up on the sunny side of a tree. If there is no natural cover locations available in the area, use a light weight ground blind that you can carry in your backpack. Use these concealment tricks to give yourself a better chance for a successful turkey hunt.
That is some good advice Gobbler. I have been hunting Turkeys for 25 years now and have to say it is still a challenge today. I have also found that you will have better success by locating the gobblers well before sunrise and setting up within 100 – 200 yards while they are still on the roost. A few soft hen yelps at day break and the gobblers will fly down right toward you.
