Hi I like this site... I feel like there are a lot of good hunters around here..
therefore I am asking this, not for advice, but to get some other guys opinions...
here goes..
a guy on another local mesage board said that the best place to set up or look for gobblers in the spring is near nesting sites because that is where the gobblers will be roosting.... this same guy also went on to say that gobblers perfer more dense, thick woods than big open hardwoods.....
Ok how many of you have heard these two theories?
I am curious because he is the first person I have ever heard say this......
there is a reason he is the first one youve heard say this :TooFunny:
I bet he's been sippin on the firewater tooo...
:agreed:
:agreed: He is the only one you will ever hear say that.
Usually, imho, they are all bunched up right now. If they spread out (and always do) and look for nesting sites, his theory is crazy..
he's right
i talked to him earlier and he told me to go spot lighting because they like to feed at night also
Was his name Roy :TooFunny: :welcomeOG:

This guy might have been tongue in cheek writing that, or just doesn't know what he's talking about. But I've never heard that haha. ;D
Welcome. :welcomeOG:
Ask him if he uses the Squeelin hen and Gobble water energy drink.
He ain't wanting you to do well. He either don't know or is seriously yanking your chain.
I suspect the second.
I've never heard that and I've heard some doozies. Oh yeah :welcomeOG:
Does he even turkey hunt? Sounds like a deer hunter who only knows what he sees turkeys doing in the fall and winter. They have totally different habits in the spring.
Thank god.. I was beginning to think I was crazy..lol
This guy thinks he is the greatest turkey hunter in this country. He has only hunted one state, and only in one very small area of the state.lol
He has made statements like he has mastered turkey calling, then puts up videos and if you heard it, you would feel the same way that I do.. that the only thing he has mastered is baiting......
I swear he was not kidding either, I wish he was, but he wasnt...
hey have you guys ever read any other funny BS like this on other sites?
I started to comment and then choose not to

:TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
well you are only a serious hunter if you use those 2 things.
Never heard any of those, but I have heard that a hen will return to nest in the same area as it did the year before? IDK, that would be a good question for Dr. Williams.
:welcomeOG: and tell your buddy that he is the GREATEST wild turkey hunter..I work with one of those guys and u cant do nuttin but agree with them and showem up in the spring.
You may want to talk to him on serious level bout turkey hunting. Have him give you some more info, we always need a good laugh. Oh and by the way :welcomeOG:
I have found gobblers around mid day next to pine thickets or where ever the hens are nesting waiting for hens to come off of their nest.
Did anyone from that other site question him or ask him how he came up with that theory?
Anybody on the internet can be a Master Turkey hunter. As for his theory. Gobblers roost near hens. If the hens roost near the nesting areas then the gobblers will too. I don't believe that gobblers look for nesting sites to search for hens, I don't believe they are that smart. They search for hens by gobbling their heads off. I disagree about the dense cover. A gobblers whole thought process in the spring is to mate. He does that by looking presentable to the hens. It is hard for a gobbler to strut for his hens in thick cover. Not saying they wont but they don't prefer it. Again if there are hens in the area there will be gobblers but as a rule of thumb look for more open hardwoods to find strutting gobblers. JMO

Ask him if he kills 50% to 75% of the birds he hears gobble on the roost 4 times.
