Tracy Groves - Turkey Hunting Tips
Tracy Groves - Q: Can you give me a few general tips on how I can be more successful this spring?
A: I think the best tip you can give anyone in the turkey woods is call soft and be patient. Every day is different and every bird is different. Have fun.

Perry Peterson - Q: Can you give me a few general tips on how I can be more successful this spring?
A: Scouting should have started last fall when you were deer hunting. You have to know what is going on in your timber. Are there any new trees down, fences down, new gullies that have washed out, anything that might affect the turkeys’ travels and how they are going to come to your calling? Get in the woods and learn the lay of the land.

Michael Leslie - Q: Can you give me a few general tips on how I can be more successful this spring?
A: Hunting in the spring is one of my most favorite times of the year. There’s nothing like the first “gobble” in the morning as the sun is just creeping over the mountain peeks, hearing Mr. Tom talking from the tree top. The most successful tip that I can give is to scout, scout, and scout. Find the birds, and put them to sleep. Back out of there with no noise and set up 2 hours before day break within 50 yards from where you watched them roost the night before.

Kevin Faver - Q: Can you give me a few general tips on how I can be more successful this spring?
A: Keep in mind turkeys can’t smell very well, but they make up for it with their eyesight. I wear a Mossy Oak Obsession leafy suit and when I’m sitting still, the turkeys never know I’m there. The next tip is you have to be patient. No matter what you hear about turkeys, there are very few easy hunts. So when you go, be patient.

Darrin Campbell - Q: Can you give me a few general tips on how I can be more successful this spring?
A: Spend as much time in the woods as possible and that’s for a couple of reasons. The biggest reason is, if you’re not in the woods you can’t harvest your bird. I don’t know how many times I haven’t gone hunting because it was raining or the wind was blowing or yesterday was a bad day. And lo and behold you’re in the local restaurant at lunch time and every other hunter that was in the woods that morning harvested a bird, because it quit raining or the wind quit blowing and today was a good day. Turkeys are in the woods every day.
