Uncle Bucky

found several dusting bowls and set up a game cam, anyone hunt them with any luck ?

I've never heard of turkeys using the same dust bowl over and over.  I know the ones at my club are random.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

IT WOULD BE A LOT LIKE DEER HUNTING, SIT AND WAIT. I JUST CAN'T DO IT.  :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an

I haven't hunted any place that has had dust on it for years...only mud puddles.   :laugh:

I def wouldn't sit and hunt over them. However, I would keep these areas in mind when runnin and gunnin as this could be a good spot to strike a gobbler late in the morning.

They are a pretty good place to find birds noonin. On warm days the turkeys don't move much in the heat of the day. They'll find a cool shady spot to spend the hot hours in. Most of the time they'll do a little dusting while they're hanging around a spot.
Sometimes I'll set up in range of one of these dusting areas while I'm eating lunch. You've gotta set somewhere. Why not near a dusting area? And in my area they use the same dusting areas day after day and year after year. The trick is figuring which one they're using today.

Good idea!
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

I've only seen hens in dusting bowls. She may bring a gobbler with her to watch her take a bath.
