Calling for Turkeys is Easier than Calling for Judges

There is a difference in calling for competition and calling real turkeys. In a turkey-calling contest, I can’t make a mistake. I have to call perfectly. But in the woods, I can make mistakes, and those mistakes sound just like a hen. Wild turkey hens are sloppy callers. They couldn’t win a turkey-calling contest.

Gamekeeping is not just for hunters, but for those who enjoy wildlife conservation and land management. It’s a way of life for people who just enjoy seeing wildlife, especially close to home.

Running and Gunning

For the most part, the last couple generations of turkey hunters have adopted a more aggressive and active hunting style commonly referred to as running and gunning.
