Hunting on new private land past few years I've only had success with spring gobblers on one particular spot (out of dozens of acres and what look to be prime habitat). I've taken three nice birds in the past three years, but only while setting-up my ground blind in the same spot.
For the more experienced turkey hunters, if this is a "resident" flock, do you feel that they have any memory of previous birds being taken in a particular spot in the past? There are obviously factors (food, fresh water stream) that keep drawing the birds to this spot. Would you believe that they are just driven by food and mating to this spot and that spring "madness" to mate may override any common sense?
Thanks in advance
