If you haven’t been out Turkey Scouting yet, it is time to get out. The weather is finally breaking to more consistent warm days and the turkeys are on the move. We addressed scouting procedures in earlier posts. Head out early and sit on the dirt roads before sunrise. Fortunately with Daylight Savings beginning, we don’t have to wake up so early to get out before daylight. Avoid using any turkey calls until the season starts. Just like with ducks, turkeys become more educated as the season goes on. Don’t give them the advantage.
A lot can be learned by getting out on the hiking trails at the beginning or end of days. You will find the birds starting to gobble on these warm mornings and strutting the ridges. There are only 10 days until the first day of the season. Do you homework, pattern your shotgun, and see you in the woods on the 23rd!!!
