Quote from: cwhitfield96 on Today at 09:23:53 AMI prefer hunting in the timber and I always look for sign. Especially early season before foliage becomes thick, scratching is relatively easy to find, and unlike deer you know that sign was made during shooting hours. When I hang out by the sign I normally see turkeys. There is also a difference between finding a little bit of scratching where a turkey maybe wandered by and a whole ridge that is tore up. If you can find the latter and sit tight, chances are you will have some action at some point.

This is a good word. Patience pays off, and if I find a scenario like you described, I know that if I stay around long enough, those turkeys will eventually be pretty close by and within range of my calling. It's easy to want to run and gun, and I have often enough, but the older I get, the more wisdom I find in slowing down and calling quietly. Perhaps, too, I'm just getting to old to climb these dang hills quickly! LOL
