Default Going to the next level
I am looking at my 24th gobbler season this year. I am a passable caller. I can call a bird in under good conditions. In the past 5 years, any day I go out I either see a turkey or I'm within shooting range of one. Now that I have my own place, I can hunt a full week plus 3 weekends.

What's next? What would be a good next step between now and April to get my turkey hunting skills up a notch or two?

Maybe hone your Jedi mind skills to lure them into range? Just kidding. You sound to me like you have things pretty well in hand. I say to scout, scout and scout. If I know where the birds are and where they want to be I feel pretty good about my chances most of the time. Something else you could do is take up a different kind of caller perhaps that you haven't mastered or used to take turkeys with in the past. Maybe a tube type caller or yelper? I haven't been at 'em as long as you have but I still find myself learning little things all the time in the turkey woods.

I was afraid you were going say something like that. It's been 24 years, but I dint say they were all good years. Oh well (sigh!)

Jedi mind skills, huh? You mean like sit out in the woods with a claw hammer and a hand full of cracked corn and will them in?

Here, turkey, turkey, turkey!


Ooops. I checked. KY won't allow the cracked corn. I guess I'll just have to go with just a hammer. Do I want a claw or a ball peen hammer? Does Quaker Boy offer a logoed camo version? If so, can I be part of the field staff?
