Quote from: g8rvet on May 18, 2016, 07:56:59 PMI doubt it will help much in the AM, but fresh tracks found later in the day have been the death of many a bird from my group. We killed one last year in a place I had sat off and on for 2 weeks and never heard a gobble. Went back a week or so later and found fresh tracks. Killed him the next morning. I am talking though about a huge tract of woods and we use tracking to find new places to listen since we can't be everywhere at once. Y'all don't?

You and I hunt very different areas around very different hunters! Around here we don't have a lot of huge tracks of timber. We have ridges that can be heard from one side or the other. Most of the guys around here that hunt all day are going to hunt where ever they can whether they see tracks or not. We also have plenty of fields that are visible from the roads so if there are turkeys in the area, everybody in the county knows about it. I guess there might be some guys that say "hey, here's a turkey track let's hunt here". But for the most part the guys that are going to kill a bird have done their homework and don't bother looking for tracks come season. They are looking for the birds that make the tracks.
