My friend and I are new to turkey hunting and inexperienced. We have a private patch of land to hunt south of Spokane at the North end of the Palouse region. We hunted one weekend last year and it was late in the season but we were able to call one in. Didn't end up getting a shot but had a lot of fun. We are going back this weekend for a bit of hunting here is the timeline of the gameplan:
Saturday afternoon- arrival, scout and listen for turkey sounds, maybe try to hunt if they are active and vocal. But mostly listen for roosting spots
Sunday morning- Easter activities with family, no hunting
Sunday afternoon- go to turkey spots and try to call them in until dark
Monday morning- try again to call birds based on roost locations
Monday afternoon- departure
This is obviously a short timeline of hunting, I have a hen and gobbler decoy but I'm not sure how to utilize them or if I should just use the hen or both. Also is calling wise this early in the season? Any tips of how to best utilize this timeline would be appreciated
