Especially when you know the birds are in the area somewhere.Killed a turkey in the evening 2 years ago doing this. Heavily pressured public land, I was walking in down the main road way when I noticed a smaller road way going down the hill to my right that you'd miss if you weren't looking for it. I had hunted this piece for 3 years and never noticed it and figured it was likely others hadn't either. I walk about 75 yards down this trail and stopped to take a pee when a crow to my right over in a holler just absolutely went crazy hollering. I went over to the side of the road way, there is an old fence line from back when this place was a farm, right on the edge of the woods. On the wood side there was a probably 7 or 8 yard deep patch or briars and then pretty open hardwoods. I sat behind the briars and done a couple soft clucks and purrs and scratched the leaves. I noticed the crow was pretty intent on that holler. About 5 minutes later I hear heavy foot steps and not being able to see, I was afraid it was another hunter that came in from a different way, next thing I know, there's a red head and a long beard standing 6 steps away right at the edge of those briars, in the only small opening it had. I was sitting on my knees, didn't have my face mask on and my gun was laying beside me. I was able to get my hand on my gun and in one slow motion get the gun to my shoulder and kill him. At the shot 3 more gobblers flew up in the air and ran back in that holler. If it wasn't for that crow, I'd have walked right past them turkeys and never knew it. This is a perfect example of a situation where birds have been pressured and they realize gobbling only draws the wrong kind of attention and go silent. I have had similar situations... but yours is truly one you will never forget. Congrats Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have noticed that crows like to aggravate turkeys and we all know crows calling can generate Gobblers gobbling. My question would be is there any scientific or practical knowledge, to go to where crows are if gobbling is nonexistent?? Or is this just a coincidence??
