Thanks, good luck to you as well. That always seems to be the case. Couldn't find a yote all winter, then when we finally give up we start seeing them running down the highway and all down the dirt roads when we dont have our guns...

turkey are very vocal birds all year round and yes you can call in Toms in the fall, the call that works best for me in the fall is the gobbler yelp. Good to know... what type of call are you using for the gobbler yelp? still shopping around for calls and not sure if I should go a little cheaper to get a slate, box and mouth call or spend a little more and get just one good one. Any brands I should be looking at or staying away from?

Well, I'd love to get a Tom, but I know I'll probably be lucky to even see a bird. Okay, I think were going to try and cover as many watering holes then, see if we can find any signs of birds. Do they still call in the morning when they are about to come off their roost in the fall? Would it be worth trying to locate them in the early morning/late afternoons this way?

So my buddy and I got drawn for the fall hut, in unit 1. Neither of us have hunted turkey before, but we've been doing our research and are planning a couple scouting trips before October rolls around. Anyone have any advice for us, as to where to scout? and what strategies to use? should we be more stationary and try to call them in, or be more mobile and cover as much land as we can? Any info would be great, as were both novice hunters and could use all the help we can get.
