Lessons learned this year?

[cornfedkiller]

I learned to move very slowly inside my blind when there are birds in close.. Got a new blind this season and I got busted twice, each time with two nice toms in close, by making too quick of movements inside the blind..

Season just started here. I'm sure the lessons will be learned soon though. I always learn the hard way.

1. A hunt is more enjoyable if it is spent with a best friend or a familly member.
2. 2 people calling is sometimes better then 1 person calling.
3. The more you scout the better chance you have at filling tags.
4. Do not be affraid to knock on doors and ask for permission.
5. Sit longer, not only is it a smart thing too do at times its also a nice time too relax while you are out there and it just slows the pace of the hunt down which to me makes the hunt a little more  enjoyable.
6. Just because you miss a bird does not mean he is never going to come in again.

This is only my second year hunting turkeys so I basically learn something new every time I go out.

1.  The more i scouted, the luckier i got. 
2.  About the time you're 100% sure the turks have established a pattern, be ready to adapt and change because the very next day the turks always seem to forget that pattern. 
3.  Shooting birds at 20-35 yards makes me look like a shooting star. 
4.  Making two calls at once with two different calls,  a cluck and a purr, drives those toms nuts, especially early in the morning with two hen dekes out.  Thank you Old Gobbler forum for that advice.
5.  You can never go wrong arriving a little early, but arriving late will eventually cost you a bird....and it's usually the biggest one you see all year! 
6. Calling your way in and out of the woods(private land) will earn you one "unexpected opp"each season.
7.  Learning something new each hunt makes each hunt better.

I learned that  some parts of Alabama has some pretty steep hills....and it's much more enjoyable to climb around on them when you're carrying a turkey back out with you, as opposed to the alternative.
