Turkey Hunting Myths

[Grey Owl]

I read an article called 10 Turkey Hunting Myths. So, I'm wondering what the Old Gobbler contributors think are the top turkey hunting myths. What say you?

1: that a mature gobbler will not cross a fence to come to you.
(they will actually if hot enough duck under a fence or even fly over a fence to come to you)
2: that a mature gobbler want cross a big creek to come to you.
(Again if he is hot and likes your setup and or calling he is coming)

If he gobbles at your calls he's interested

If he doesn't gobble at your calls he's not interested.

1.Field turkeys can't be killed without decoys.
2. Gobblers won't come downhill.
3. If you bump a bird then you are done for the day.
4. Roosted is roasted.

They won't cross water.

That you can call a gobbler up to a National forest road and to your running truck(with or without the radio playing ) scrapping on an out of tune box call and while breathing out of your mouth. This myth has somehow been passed along for several generations and is the preferred hunting tactic in Louisiana.

If you wear your hat backwards, you can fool the turkeys into thinking you're not looking at them.
