Gentlemen.
Where is your favorite place to setup on turkeys? Do you like to camp out on field edges, or are you more of a deep woods hunter.
My favorite is to hunt field edges overlooking known safe areas where turkeys will visit. I don't mean ambush situations, but areas where a turkey will not only answer your calls, but will feel safe traveling down to that area.
What do you guys like?

Up until about 10:00 a.m. I like the timber.  After that I like to field hop, hunting the woods along the way.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Where they are gobbling!!! I prefer big hardwood flats, but after spending some time out West hunting them on open farm ground I like that also.

Decoys & fields are real killers !  I've had gobblers come from over 300 yds once they have spotted the decoys.  :icon_thumright:

Where ever he is roosted.  If it is on a field's edge then that is where I will be, but if he is in the woods then that is where I will be.

I like timber at dawn and then on up in the morning I like to hunt field edges and fields. Out west is almost all field hunting.
Spring turkey hunting, I love it so.                FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Very few of my hunting spots have any timber much thicker than a brushy draw, so I'm usually limited to hunting field edges anyway.

Like woods up to around 9:30am....then edge of field.

I put my ground blind in a somewhat open area between a thick timber on one side and pasture on the other.  There are corn and soybean fields all around. This little area seems to be one of those safe places that the turkeys come through.  I hunt deer in the same exact spot.

I hunt woods and fields but fields with decoys is where I kill most of my turkeys!

Wouldn't know how to hunt open ground.  There aren't many fields in this part of the state.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

I had rather be in the woods but will set up on a field if that is where he is roosted at first light. After 10:00 or so its all field hunting for me
