Have access to roughly 300 private acres... Well the property is set up with 3 fields all connected on the east side of the property.... These 3 fields is where the birds all tend to be at... Well did my scouting and set a blind up in the field which I thought would produce. Long story short, season starts tmrw so I went back this mornin for some last minute scouting and find 3 blinds set up within 100 yards of my blind.... Needless to say I'm headin toso Mark Twain National Forest.... Sorry, just had to vent, and I don't have much confidence on government land...
I killed my best bird here in Pa. on state forest land. The birds can't tell what's public or private. Give it a chance and good luck to you.
I hunted Mark Twain, specifically Paddy Creek wilderness area mainly. Always heard lots of birds, but I will admit the terrain is rough going. If you can get on the same ridge as a bird you will have a good shot at him. Good Luck!

What he said. Turkeys don't know where they are. There's prob going to be less birds and their going to be more scattered so you will have to work harder for them. They also tend to travel a lot more so where they are one day they might not be the next. Try to find water :anim_25:
Im not scared to put in the effort nor the mikes on the boots to find and get to a bird.. Im gonna make sure to walk further, hunt harder and be in the woods mid day when other hunters are gone...

You got the right mindset then. Look forward to seeing some dead turkey pics :icon_thumright:
