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.

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.
