I have noticed they don't always roost in the same trees, they will it seems every couple of days so I have 2 areas where they might be, then I know where the open fields are !! To me it's a rotation every couple of days! It's figuring out where to be ahead of them or where their going! I started in Turkey hunting since 2020 and have shot a Turkey every year!! I even went to Florida in 2022 and got Me a Osceola ❤❤❤❤ Now I go back to Colorado I'll go for the Merriam's and the Rio Grande Turkeys!! Good Luck Hunting and Be Safe!! Thanks for more info!!
Question when moving in to area and trying to get a gobble , I have found getting there before shooting light is a problem without using a light. Using a headlamp to me risk the birds will spot me?
Definitely do not use lights. You would be shocked how well you can see once your eyes can adjust. You start to be able to distinguish between shades of dark on the ground and what they correspond to
@@paytondarden6903 it’s pretty common for turkeys to move a lot from where you see them in the winter to where they set up shop in the spring, then as spring progresses they will get even more scattered as flocks break up
Start with ridge tops. Especially when scouting in the mornings during gobble time. They will likely use the ridges to pitch out into trees over the valley. From there determine if they are pitching into the ridge or down into the valley and go from there. Generally speaking with turkeys you want to stay up hill from them. So work top down. Be careful not to walk along a ridge top so they can easily silhouette you.
Electronic hearing enhancement isnt permitted in (all states ) like Pennsylvania. Only prescription ordered medical hearing aids for hunters with actual hearing deficits.
I have Boniface Rx hearing aids, however; I don't use them for gufkey hunting. First, they make it impossible to accurately judge my calling. Second, theyre a big PITA to remove & replace constantly. Next, its no fun getting grit in your ears, possibly getting an ear infection. Then, I stand a high chance of losing them out in the woods somewhere. Good Luck this season.
@@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594 and actually only one of the two of us wear these in the turkey woods anymoore for that reason. I can't stand the pressure it puts on my ears and no way to judge my own calling or the progress of the bird. It is great for scouting at a distance or if you can get them on when you know one is coming in for ear protection or if they sneak in behind you. good luck to you toO!
I know they approved some electronics when it comes to duck hunting and other things like ozonics but we still have to use the STRUTT'N 360 as a POV camera vs the decoy base it's intended to be.
It does, but where we are when it is 95% flat ridges are fantastic starting points for locating birds. You never want to bump a roost, that’s why you listen from a distance.

"Really the hardest part is waking up early." Oh brother I second that...

Great video again... got my Remington 870 an hour ago from basspro... can’t wait to go hunting with my boys.
Awesome! We hope you get one! Good luck!

Yup! They will do that! Thanks for the comment and good luck! We are headed out west on May 3rd.
@@WeekendWoodsmen Good Luck!!
" the hardest part is waking up early" so true
just takes a good cup of coffee. but the season becomes a grind for sure!
Not if your a waterfowler 🙂
Where did you find those earmuffs?

Did you camo them yourself?
No you can find them in camo also!
Ok quick question have any of y’all ever had a gobbler chase a hen up into roost around mid morning
Like where it’s literally up in a tree right above you
We have had birds fly up into the roost randomly around mid morning but it generally is hard to tell why
Question when moving in to area and trying to get a gobble , I have found getting there before shooting light is a problem without using a light. Using a headlamp to me risk the birds will spot me?
Definitely do not use lights. You would be shocked how well you can see once your eyes can adjust. You start to be able to distinguish between shades of dark on the ground and what they correspond to
I was hunting on some property last year that was loaded with Turkeys, but I haven't been seeing them them this year. Where did they go?
When did you see them? It’s still early in many states
Every once in a while there will by on or two but that's about it, This is in kansas.

There's no flat land where I live. Should I be hunting ridge tops, or valleys?
Start with ridge tops. Especially when scouting in the mornings during gobble time. They will likely use the ridges to pitch out into trees over the valley. From there determine if they are pitching into the ridge or down into the valley and go from there. Generally speaking with turkeys you want to stay up hill from them. So work top down. Be careful not to walk along a ridge top so they can easily silhouette you.
What about river bottoms
river bottoms are for sure a good place to scout. see tracks, listen, as birds will roost on ridge tops and travel both tops and bottoms

yes that does make it tougher sometimes!

I think you need to check on that. Didn't PA clarify that electronic earmuffs were legal a few years ago?
I know they approved some electronics when it comes to duck hunting and other things like ozonics but we still have to use the STRUTT'N 360 as a POV camera vs the decoy base it's intended to be.
how are those earmuffs if you're around airbases?
never really tried them in that situation. I'd imagine that they cut out quite a bit given how loud that could be.
Sinsmauler probably hurt your ears bud.
@@mike1536 10-4 need something for my pops he cant hear em unless they
Sinsmauler makes sense, good luck bud.
Wat kind of earmuffs do you use? Thanks
Takes a lot more than just a ridge to hold birds. Bumping a roost pre season is a huge rookie mistake.
It does, but where we are when it is 95% flat ridges are fantastic starting points for locating birds. You never want to bump a roost, that’s why you listen from a distance.
Ahh ahh
ahhhhhhh
