The All-Day Turkey Hunting Grind

I’ll skip the wonderful particulars of how I work a fowl at flydown, but when I don’t kill him shortly after flydown, the chase is on. As quickly because the gobbler decides to maneuver in a course that doesn’t put him in entrance of me, I’ll instantly defer to HuntStand and begin analyzing aerial imagery to determine how I can get forward of him. 

Sometimes, this can contain a sequence of broad J-hooks. Some would possibly say I’m extreme within the buffer I provide with my J-hooks, however detection is totally unacceptable. 

I’ll at all times err on the aspect of warning, as I’ve discovered to respect the sixth sense of our biggest recreation fowl. I’ll use locator calls to maintain him gobbling, God prepared, if he’s not naturally gobbling. 

I strive my hardest to solely use a turkey name throughout this search part if I really feel it’s attainable to name him in, however I want to attend to name till I’m forward of him in his course of journey. 

This recreation of cat and mouse can go on for hours. If he stops gobbling altogether, I’ll arrange and blind name for an hour or so, or so long as my crumbling endurance permits.
