Im hunting a 2000 Acer lease with 20 other members. I cant pattern them because they are getting bumped every day. Guys are driving the roads, Taking 50 plus yard pop shots. The place is full or was full of birds. I was seeing many gobblers before season in the open areas and now nothing. I have been hunting almost everyday since April 1st and have not filled a tag. I finally got 2 birds to work and got busted . Any tips to hunting high pressured gobblers?.... Oh yeah i will not be rejoining this lease
I'm no expert but I'd say that less is often more when it comes to killing turkeys. I would call less, sit more and be patient. Watch and listen. If you find an area that they've been using, stake it out and wait. Especially if you can hunt all day in your state. Good chance that they'll be back. I'd also hunt times and days when the knuckleheads were less likely to be there. Rainy days, windy days, mid morning, etc. Don't forget to check out the hardest to get to places either.
Good luck!
