But if you deer hunt the same property that you turkey hunt, you need to make note of where you’ve seen turkeys during deer season. If you don’t deer hunt the property where you’ll be hunting turkeys,

Why Soft and Low Is Deadly Turkey Calling

Another call that I use when I'm hunting that I think most other hunters don’t use as effectively as they can is soft purring. Most turkey hunters judge what a turkey can hear based on their own ability to hear. Even though we all know that a turkey’s ability to hear is much greater than our own, we don’t use that fact oftentimes when we talk to gobblers.

I've been hunting turkeys since I was 12 years old, and I'm 34 now. I hunt mainly in Kentucky, but I've hunted Osceolas in Florida too. I've hunted in Ohio a couple of times, and I'm going to Alabama this year. Here in Kentucky I have a lot of family and friends who let me hunt their lands, and some of our friends from church also allow me to hunt on their lands. My friends

On many of the public hunting areas that I've hunted in Florida, the turkeys will stay in the swamp all day long. So, if you're going to bag a bird, you'll have to go in the swamp to get them. The secret to hunting swamp turkeys is to find a dry piece of ground out in the swamp and look for the strut zones.

5 Things Wild Turkeys Need

Why are the gobblers always on your neighbor’s property and not yours? The answer to that could be a number of reasons. You must look at what a turkey needs and on the other hand, things a turkey doesn’t like, the solution may be easier than you think. Just like all wild critters, they need food, water, cover and space. What don’t they like? Pressure!
