Styles of Hunting

[golfernash]

With a bow I tend to hunt near roosts in my blind. With my shotgun I run and gun.

No blind or deke for me.  And no run and gun either.   Slow, steady and deliberate is what consumes my day in the turkey woods.

I personally feel hunting turkeys from a blind is good for first time youth hunts and maybe archery. Other than that there doesn't seem to be much sport in sitting in a blind waiting for Tom to show up and shooting him through a peep hole. Just my opinion.

Run and Gun for sure.  You miss so much of the experience in a blind.

I usually sit and wait then I get bored, move and scare the bird that was on his way in silent!

I think after just a few minutes you know what a particular bird is going to need you to do to get him.  If I get the usual every answer is 100 yds farther its off to the races. If he seems to sit tight and seems interested I will wait it out even if he seems to not be coming in he probably will eventually.

I wouldn't say I'm one to sit and wait for any period of time unless the situation warrants. Thats the best way I can describe my style. I hunt several different places as most turkey hunters often do and each place is unique. For example, I tend to be less patient when I'm hunting mainly woods with little to no fields. I'm more patient if I'm hunting say a cattle farm with lots of short grassed fields.

Knowing when to move, when to call, when to go home is the ultimate question most turkey hunters seek the answer to. I believed even the best hunters do not know the correct answer 100% of the time.

It's not something you master, but evolve with.

run and gun is how i was taught and its how i have always hunted

[gunnerj]

I've hunted many different ways. My favorite way to hunt is the way that puts the gobblers head under my boot!

Love to Run n Gun, but will do whatever the bird and or terrain dictate to kill him.

[gobbler777]

Runnin and gunnin is the most fun to me.

[Gooserbat]

I run and gun howbeit I have slowed down and now I do more of a walk and gun.  I let the hunt come together piece by piece.  I've killed more birds moving with calculation than impulsively.
