Mistakes you can make after you hear a TURKEY Gobble

You hear that distant Gobble of the first time, NOW WHAT?
The next move you make can dictate whether you
are successful at taking that Spring Gobbler or not.
The first impression is to head towards that Gobbler,
but is that the best thing to do?
By stopping and slowing down for a bit
you might avoid these mistakes.

The first time you Yelp and he doesn't reply. It means he's on the way. So sit tight. The gobbler knows the exact location your call is coming from. It can take up to an hour sometimes, but it works.

He was moving!! I know he saw me. That's Public Land though. No shot was heard thank goodness.

Late to the party with this comment, but do you still use a crow call for heavily hunted birds? I’ve seen guys spook birds badly with a crow call where I hunt, lots of hunters in the area. Been super hesitant to use a locator for that reason. Love to hear your thoughts.

[@TheMurpher666]

Highlight of the day

[@Bowfella]

I'll never forget that time two old geezers (who claimed to be seasoned turkey hunters) arrived half an hour after sun up and started responding to EVERY gobble, even going as far as to STAND UP in a field to call back, they couldn't sit still for two seconds. The worst part is we called the Tom to the edge of the bush, no more than 40 yards infront of us. These jokers ruined our closing day for what would've been a guaranteed turkey for us. It didn't help they were insufferable and accused us of hunting past legal hours, meanwhile they were party hunting (illegal).

[@csedan510]

I was out 2 days ago (Southern VT) at 6:30am walking the dog in the woods and heard the first gobbles of the year. Super exciting.

First time turkey hunting 2 weeks ago. Got within 70 yards of a gobbler and he went completely quiet. Figured I'd got spotted and sad down against a tree to assess. Less than a minute later momma bear and 2 cubs come strolling on by within 10 yards. Never saw or winded me. Figured I'd call that a successful first hunt and try another day.

When you said the setup is the most important thing you do, I knew you were a turkey hunter. I tell new hunter, where you sit down is the biggest key to killing turkey's.

First mature bird I ever killed was sheer dumb luck. I overcalled and hung him up at 100 yards for an hour then he shut up. Gave up and went to the truck. Half hour later I cracked a Mountain Dew all pissed off and heard him gobbling his brains out right where I was set up. Snuck halfway to him chirped once and he came running. Best hunt I ever had with no real idea what I was doing🤣

nice vid.. I do the opposite when I locate a gobbler that won't come, I call to him and walk away.. the run back and wait for him to swing by.. also I have had a lot of success gobbling at birds in the afternoon who are out looking for gals.. never forget the last turkey hunt I had with Mr. Bill Harmon.. we had a bird 90 yards away in sight but another bird in the field across the creek... When I gobbled at him I thought Mr. Bill was gonna come unglued, but to his own admission it was a brilliant move because that dude came screaming in as he finally noticed the full strut decoy> I did not want to lose him to the other bird, Bill shot him at 12 yards, wad hit it in the face

[@wild_goose_0285]

I am a novice turkey hunter. I have not killed my first gobbler for the season is not open yet. However, I think another important detail worth recognizing is game trails. Like most animals turkeys do utilize game trails. And if you're in a spot, and a turkey is coming to you, you should do your best to create a mental map of known game trails. That way you might be able to predict the birds movements along trails. And ultimately, where he may pop out.

I call it run and gun first thing in the morning one on the roost and try to beat him before he pitches off. Its worked so well it seems too easy. Carrying one out with the sun just peaking over the horizon...and the other 50-75 percent of the time you run up on him in the tree, or never hear anything after one or two gobbles.

[@MrJimw360]

I tried a method I read about on a hung up bird. There were several birds (ended up being Jake's) hung up about 100 yards. We couldn't see them so I slowly moved closer and called. Then moved closer again and called. When I got as close as comfortable, I turned back and worked back to where I started and called. Before I knew it, all the jakes were at a full run coming at me. Have you ever tired this method with any success ?
