Well I'll change my advise a little .
Run and gun ......
By water sources ,was out today seen a crap ton of Turkey all near water . With current drought conditions them turkeys are staying pretty close to water.
East side of coarse...

Thanks.

We only had luck in the fall on property where we had the birds patterned. Set up along their morning routine and pop a few out of the flock. Leave them alone the rest of the day and do it again the next.

One time our AirBnB host let us shoot some in his field so that was neat...and that's the story of how I shot a turkey in shorts and flip flops at 60 yds.

Never had any luck calling. Not even going to bother this year. Would rather spend the fall shootin em out of the sky
