1.) I've had the most success killing birds from flydown til 6:30 or so.

2.) I mainly use decoys when I have a bird roosted or a specific set up in mind.

3.) Mostly solo, but sometimes hunt with my wife, father, other family members or friends.

4.) Run and gun

5.) Favorite call = Halloran Twisted Sister crystal

6.) Mostly within a few miles of my home.

7.) No preference other than non-windy mornings.

8.) I hunt every morning until my tags are filled. Seems like I have a lot of success during May 10-15.

9.) Most people here use box calls, I carry several pot calls with me.

10.) Over calling and lack of patience (I'm guilty of this too).

1.Favorite time to hunt?
a. early morning
b. mid morning
c. early afternoon

2. Decoys or no decoys?
I use decoys if I am in a field and they can see a long way or it is late morning and I am setting up in a throughway and blind calling.

3. Hunt solo or tag team?
Solo until I get one or two under my belt and the pressure is off a bit, then I like to tag-team

4. Run and gun or wait it out?
A little of both, depends on if I have heard any gobbles or not.  If they are gobbling good I will tend to stay in place, if there is nothing, then I run and gun which usually does not work in my area.

5. What's your go to turkey call?
Billy Buice snakewood trumpet with a 5 ring mouthpiece.  Its like American Express

6. Favorite place to hunt?
All of the above.  Anywhere I can find them

7. You Ideal weather conditions for turkey hunting?
just off of a chill in the morning when the day is going to get in the low-mid 70s and sunny (High-Pressure System)

8. Do you prefer early season or late season hunts?
late season, they tend to be pretty henned up in the upstate of SC in early season

9. What is one thing that you have in your turkey vest that most other people do not?
A primary wing from the very first turkey I killed in 1993

10. Biggest mistake turkey hunters make while hunting turkeys?
Lack of patience/not waiting long enough after a gobbler has stopped gobbling at you when you think he is committed.
