Not much of a decoy guy.Osceolas, at least to my experience, don't gobble as much as other subspecies, especially once they're on the ground. If you don't get on them right off the roost, I've done a lot of sitting and calling over decoys. I've found that running and gunning doesn't work as well on Osceolas, due to their lack of gobbling. When trying, I got busted more often than not when toms came in silent. Food plots and road intersections are ideal locations for decoy use.Best of luck on your hunt!!!

Thank you, sir.If it's open pastures then moving slowly around the edges and glassing can work, but the gobbling on most days is minimal once they're on the ground. You'll get some mornings when they'll gobble a bit, but those are few. I agree with intersections and blind calling. They will come in silent real quick so build a good blind for a late sit.

Have managed to kill Merriam's, Rios and Gould's. To you guys who've killed 'em all..........does anything stick out as being different about the Osceolas ??

To you guys who've killed 'em all..........does anything stick out as being different about the Osceolas ??I only ever harvested one Osceola. The one thing I learned was they are very aggressive to other Tom's. The Full Strut Gobbler decoy from Primos, I think it's called "Bubba" gets his attention real quick. It actually pulled the Tom I got away from a hen. He came about 125 yards to fight. He got TKO'd. Best of luck my friend....

Quote from: WV Flopper on March 07, 2021, 08:55:08 AMI am a mountain hunter. I have been to Florida twice and hunted. Both times I was there, I experienced something different than what has been describe in this post. I can hear a turkey in Florida for what seems miles. The water carries the sound so well. Think of it like this, your in a boat on a pond and the guys 400 yards away in another boat are having a conversation, and you can hear every word. If in a pasture I suppose it would be different, but seeing how water covers 50% of the ground there its something to think about. I have had trouble with locking down the locations of turkeys while gobbling in the swamps as well. It seems to me the sound is everywhere around you making it hard to locate. If you get a roosted turkey sounding off, take a couple extra minutes/gobbles to pinpoint him. In WV I can usually pin one down with two to three gobbles, not so for me in Florida. Be prepared to get wet, have extra boots. Maybe even take a boot dryer with you for back at the camp. God luck with your trip! I will be there the 20th for the first gobble.
