Get the Zedge app for your cell phone and download a couple ringtones that are songbirds common to your area.

At home, here, I use a cardinal.  In Texas on a Rio hunt I'll use a bobwhite.  You never have to put your phone on silent or vibrate again.
I really like this idea thanks

If you are of the habit of forgetting you chit paper, and just can't operate without coffee, give yourself some extra time before heading out...  I DO NOT make in the woods (lyme disease taught me a hard lesson there) and you can set your watch to my er...bowel schedule when I drink coffee every morning.  Seriously!   Every time.  Within an hour it's happening whether I want it to or not.

Be careful where you do your business. A buddy backed into a bush full of seed ticks several years ago. Ended up with infected waist.

Once had a guy tell me don't go out in a heavy rain, no turkey in there right mind would be out in that weather!

Wonder where he thought they went!

Hmm.  That's IS weird.   I shot both my PA birds in the pouring rain last year...  lol

I agree.  I have shot some of my best birds in a light rain.  Trumpet time.

After a rain, sure to have birds on the move, at least that is what I have experienced...wet years did better than dry years. :morning:

Yea, it was not a fun experience.

Don't let the weather keep you from going. Learn how to hunt less than ideal conditions most effectively and be confident in your approach. I look forward to spring thunderstorms in a way that has made others uncomfortable. Not only do the fair weather laymen hunters leave all the birds for you. You also have in my opinion the BEST non turkey noise to locate a gobbler. Thunder is almost automatic. They can't help but rattle off a gobble. It makes them much more vulnerable and that's where most of my 3+ year old birds have come from.

TRG3, you are right about napping! The late Ben Lee urged turkey hunters to take naps- the key is to leave one eye open!
