As a gear junkie, I’m always looking for new ways to help get an edge on a gobbler when turkey hunting.

He hasn’t been turkey hunting very long, he doesn’t hunt turkeys all day, or he’s lying to you. One of the most-terrifying things a turkey hunter has to deal with is being sound asleep and hearing a turkey drumming right behind him.

Taking Gobblers When There’s No Noise

Most turkey hunters prefer to hunt on days when there’s no wind, no rain and no noise. But any day you wear your Mossy Oak camouflage, it will keep you from being seen. But those are also the days when turkeys seem to be able to hear you scratch your head. More than likely, when you’re trying to call turkeys, you’ll have to move at some point.

Focus on the Fun!

At no time in the outdoors is the chance for a lasting memory or trophy better than when a wide-eyed kid is along, and it doesn’t have to be a hunt for a monster buck.

Ernie Callandrelli Explains How to Take a Gobbler on a Windy Day

If you’re hunting under really-windy conditions, you have to start with a really-loud turkey call, like one of the Turkey Thug calls from Quaker Boy Game Calls.

How to Take Tough Toms

I don’t call as much on rainy days, because turkeys don’t gobble as well when rain’s falling. I’ve had turkeys gobbling from the ground, and then they’ll shut-up as soon rain starts. Remember, when a turkey gobbles, he’s not only calling-in hens. He’s also notifying predators where he is located.

Housing Whitetails

Why do whitetails live where they do? It’s simple; they have food and water nearby, there’s enough cover to make them feel safe and they are usually left alone. Quite often when managers wish to increase their deer numbers they begin by adding food plots to their property.
