Turkey Sesson Is Almost Here

Well turkey hunters it is almost time to get busy chasing the old allusive long beard of the woods. First thing we have to do is get properly dressed for the occasion. This is not that difficult you just have to look like a tree. The best way to do that is in my opinion is to buy real tree camo. I mean from head to toe. Then you should find a comfortable place to set. In the woods that is not so easy to do. I have found that a Silent Spin Bucket Seat is a lot of help in the comfort area. Once you have that taken care of, you need to decide where to hunt. In Arkansas, there are turkeys everywhere. That problem solved then you have to decide how you lore in the turkey. Do you use a diaphragm call, a slate call, or a gobble stick? Do you call yourself or have someone else call and you shoot. In my personal opinion I think if you are going to hunt with a buddy, one should call the other should shoot. Otherwise, you are calling the same bird in two different directions.

Clothing for the Hunt

When you are turkey hunting the most important thing is to not be seen. Camo comes in all different colors and patterns. You have Mossey Oak, Realtree, seclusion 3 d just to name a few. When you are buying your camo, it is a good idea to stay with the same pattern of camo. For example if you buy real tree Ap Hd pattern boots, you should not buy Mossey Oak New Brk-Up Paints. The different is slight but you are trying to fool the most keen eyesight animal in the woods he might notice the change. The boots, pants, shirt, and the face mask should all match perfectly.

Finding the Right Seat

Once you have become invisible, you have to find the right seat to park your rump on. You may be there awhile so it has to be comfortable you cannot be moving around. If you are hunting the edge of the field, a bucket seat works great. If you are hunting a natural, clearing you may want to go with the deluxe super seat. It really does not matter what seat you get as long as it is comfortable.

Find the Turkey

Turkeys are really the easiest animal in the woods to find. All you have to do is go in the woods right before daylight and hoot like an owl while the birds are on the roost .They will answer with a gobble. Then you set up a little ways away wait for the sun to come up.

Calling in the long beard

Now that all the work is done, it is time to have some fun. You have to decide whether you are going to use a diaphragm call or a slate call. The diaphragm call goes in your mouth. The slate call is a round peace of slate that you slide a stick around on. They both are very effective once you master them.

Happy Hunting.
