Gobbler Chaser Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 If you heard them at 100 yds and you were in the cover of a blind you couldn't be in a better place. Go light on the calling and use different calls because once they tag you as a fake you're outta luck. At first light or even later if you hear them sounding off at a great distance then yes close the gap between you and them and find a good tree to sit by (running and gunning it's called). Good camo and face covering and no movement is a must when they're moving in to your calling. Remember they see way better than we do and can pick you out way before you even know their there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have most of my luck later in the mornings. I places there are lots of hens it’s tough at times to pull them away. 10am or so the ladies head to the nest and the Tom’s start spending time alone strutting and such in fields. Sneak in on them and throw a couple soft calls to get his attention. Many times they will break strut and head your way looking for the lady he heard.

landtracdeerhunter Posted yesterday at 11:48 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:48 AM Blind has limited visibility. Can get away with more movement in a blind, that's for sure. Vinyl smell , blinds stink. Nice in the rain though. Restricted to that area the blinds set up at. I can sand my woodworking projects in a blind. Six of one, half a dozen of another.

First-light Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago This year I got the camo see through stuff and wrapped it around a couple of trees. Sat on a log a looked over here and there. Got my bird. Knowing where they roost is such a plus. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
