15) Fall hunting scenario, shooting a Hen or poult, Yes or No? When I eventually do fall hunt, i'll take a legal bird IF i think the area can sustain it

[Paulmyr]

1)   12 gauge, 20 gauge or bow?
Just switched too 20 last year. Pretty sure I won't be going back to a 12. The ease of carrying the 20 around  and holding it at the ready position compared to the 12 makes the decision pretty simple.

2) Lead, TSS, or arrow? Was lead, now TSS

3) Sit and wait? Or Mobile hunting? If gobbling birds are around I'm not moving much but I will change setups as I feel needed when the opportunity arises. If no gobbling I'm seaching, it's not a track meet by any means. A few steps here a few steps there, stop and listen for a few mins and repeat as needed.

4) Mossy Oak or Real Tree? Other? Don't matter.

5) Sun up to 9am? 9am-Noon? Or all day? All day, try to nap mid afternoon but it usually don't work out.

6) Decoys? Or no Decoys? No

7) Rubber Boots or Leather Boots? Leather or hybrid leather, cordura snake boots.

Mouth call? Pot call? Or Box call? Mouth, starting to make some box calls so they have been seeing a little action.

What region do you favor more? Wherever I'm at the time.

9) Western birds or Eastern? Eastern

Favorite Terrain to Hunt? As I'm getting older the flatland is getting more appealing but I don't shy away from a good ascent if turkeys are hanging there.

10) Hills? Flat big woods? Swamp? Field? Anywhere I can find Hardwoods.

Here's the spicy bonus question for those that are up for it!

11) Fanning/Reaping Yes or No? Nada

12) Public or Private? Public, gained access to some private this spring. Took longer to walk in and pick a set up than it did to call a gobbler in.
13) Shots past 40ish yards, Yes or No? No

14) Roost shooting? Yes or No? Shooting in the roost yes, shooting off the roost no.

15) Fall hunting scenario, shooting a Hen or poult, Yes or No? I Don't fall hunt.
