For me, if they are in gun range, I'll give them a loud, "hey, how's it going" and not move. If they are 75+ yards, I just try to back out and go to another area unseen

Holler at him/her without making any movement.
"Hey I'm a hunter I'm over here".
No turkey is worth getting shot over.
Read some of the accounts on here from members who have been shot turkey hunting.

And remember your safety rules. Never wear anything red, white, or blue as these colors are associated with a gobblers head colors.

Always whistle and let him know hunter over here. He could circle and be on you again and you a target later. A young inexperienced hunter you  never know what they will do....or someone that will take a shot at that stump sitting there. I cannot sit there and do nothing knowing someone else in the area I am hunting. I may want to move and then you don't know where he is at. Best to not hunt at all where you seeing other hunters in area. I like to feel as safe as possible and if a stranger in my area I do not feel safe and will avoid.

A little of both here. I will yell or make a crappy owl hoot, like say hooty hoo real loud, it may lead to a conversation or me just leaving. I usually will be getting as far away as fast as I can. NO DAMN turkey is worth it, period, for me. My anxiety level is high if I even hear a hunter calling in the area, I leave. Most of you know why my anxiety level is so high around other hunters, no need to bring up old nightmares.

If someone walks in on my setup, it's a guarantee I will be seen..........because ain't NOBODY that's not hunting WITH ME has permission to be there.

But, I will be heard first.  Probably a loud "Just what the (bleep) are you doing here ???" followed by and in depth discussion of the outcome of their stupidity.    :toothy12:

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Howieg

I like living on the edge , I gobble at them !:)
    Joking of course. Normally hoot or whistle at a approaching hunter .
