Scouting or just trusting your spot?

[Zfhunter1]

Still pretty young and learning a lot of stuff with my dad seems like we alway trust the spot. Does it pay off to scout and look at multiple properties and other spots on public land. Always seems one of us kills every year atleast. Do a lot of you scout or just show up opening day?

At the very least, I would listen several mornings in different areas. For one thing, someone might be at your first choice spot when you get there. And then..you need a place after one of you shoots. Lots of other reasons but those are a couple

If you always hunt private with no other outside hunters influencing the turkeys and their movements....trusting the spot will work
However if your hunting public the more areas your familiar with the better you off you will be

I still scout my private spots but probably more just because I'm itching for turkey season. Hunting on public out of state it's just scouting while I hunt.

I haven't scouted in probably 15 years. Most days, I'm in a place Ive never been when day breaks. Some days I'm off the mark, but most days I'm right in the game.
