General Forum / Re: How much space do we need?Last post by GobbleNut - Today at 09:25:56 AMGood question for discussion, Tom.
 First off, I agree...get there first and you should not have to worry about it...assuming that the guy(s) that show up after you understand that principle...which is not at all guaranteed in today's turkey-hunting world. In addition, more and more, hunters are "reserving" spots by sleeping at gates or camping underneath roost sites. Being there several hours in advance is not necessarily soon enough. As I usually state in most discussions of this sort, it depends on the situation and circumstances for me. Fundamentally, if the area is not big enough for multiple hunters to spread out and not interfere with each other, there is no question...move on, and if there are no other alternatives, wait until the other hunter(s) leave the area. Even if the area is large enough for multiple hunters, however, there is always the question of where those other hunters are IF you decide to go ahead and enter...and that is always going to be a dilemma in those situations. Not going into an area is a tough pill to swallow at times, especially if a guy has travelled a long way to get there and is on limited time...which is why I never travel to a location where I don't have several/many options on where to hunt (public areas, that is). Personally, I will choose a large public area with fewer turkeys over a small area with lots of turkeys...and the chance of having other hunters there...every time. My rule of thumb in the areas I hunt regularly is that if someone is parked at a location, I will move a minimum of the distance needed to get out of earshot of any gobbler he might be able to hear from his location. Where I hunt mostly, that is usually a minimum of about a mile or so. Simply put, any gobbler I hear that I think the other hunter might be able to hear and head towards is generally off limits for me...except in those rare cases where I am absolutely certain that (or another) hunter is not engaged with that gobbler. If there is any doubt, I just move on. Of course, I have the luxury of hunting in a region where the above is always possible. I feel for you guys that hunt places where it is not and the kind of decisions we speak of here must be made. #54

General Forum / Re: How much space do we need?Last post by Greg Massey - Today at 09:20:50 AMAgree with the comments above. Also sometimes later in the morning you can drive back to plan A and possibly that person has already left ... Some of the best turkey hunting is mid morning until afternoon if you can hunt all day in that state.
If lunch is stopping time always have several plans ... A B C etc.. Also if you get a chance to have a conversation with the other person who's already parked maybe you both can share the woods in that location. It all depends on you, if your second to the spot ... IMO #57
