weird turkey hunting tips

[hotspur]

Thinking of funny circumstances , I'm wondering if anyone has unusual turkey hunting tips or " don't do this " advise. I've got a simple one . When hunting in areas where livestock may be present don't put out a decoy And what ever you do don't try to run them off, its much better to let them lose interest and leave on there own

DON'T: Consume a 24 oz coffee from your local gas & go and enter the woods at 0-dark:thirty without adequate paper supplies immediately available. Just sayin'....

Don't pee on an electric fence. Have my cousin to thank for that piece of advise.

When you think it is time to move, sit at least 30 more minutes.

When looking for a tree to sit against for a long period of time, I look for a fallen log or small rock formation in front of the tree.  This can be used as a gun rest and to hide my movement from using friction calls.

For hunters in the west, I would recommend NOT sitting against a fallen log, where a critter can approach unseen from behind...  While hunting in mountain lion country, I once had a bobcat jump on the log I was sitting against (coming face to face with the kitty).  I immediately realized this could have been a bad deal if it were a mountain lion or bear trying to get a turkey meal.

If you know there is an active bird in the area, but cannot get a response with your favorite call, try some different calls with different sounds and pitches.  I have often been surprised at how quiet woods can come alive with a call that is not normally one of my favorites (my theory is that sometimes you find a call that sounds like a local breeding hen that the toms are used to hearing).

Hunt the last hour with the same enthusiasm as the first hour.

Take 2x the amount of water you think you're really going to need. Never know when you're going to break off long for a bird or start covering ground trying to strike one up. When you're miles from the truck with no water left, you'll thank me.

For the mountain hunters, we all like to set up above the bird when possible. Grab a wrist sized stick just before you sit down against your tree and use it to stop the always annoying slide down the tree. If you place the stick just out in front of your rear end it acts as a stopper and you won't have to constantly be pushing yourself back up against the tree.
