Research To Hunt Turkeys All Season Long

I like to hunt public lands because public lands give me the opportunity to stretch my legs and cover a lot of ground. I don’t have the ability or the finances to buy enough land to keep me occupied throughout turkey season.

Tactics for Calling and Taking Turkeys

Everyone gets excited about learning to call turkeys better, and all my life I've been a student of turkey calling. But it’s just as important to know when NOT to call turkeys. If you call to a turkey when he doesn’t want to hear your call, you'll do more to keep him away from you than you'll do to bring him to you.

Try a Variety of Friction Calls for Calling Turkeys

There are differences in all the various types of turkey calls. For instance, a diaphragm call doesn’t resonate as well at a distance as a friction call does.
