Stay in the Game! Six Fast Shot Setups

Wild About Turkey Hunting Podcast

So, tell me if this sounds familiar. Birds are gobbling from the roost in three different directions. The morning sunrise seems to have every tom on fire. All that gobbling holds the promise that it’s going to be a great day. But something doesn’t work out just right with your roost setup. The tom flies down. He answers your best fly down cackle and then a hen butts in. You haven’t heard a gobble in over an hour so you call it a day and head for the truck, figuring that you’ll just have to get set up on the roosted gobbler again tomorrow and hope that he doesn’t have that hen with him so you can kill him. By 9:00 your hunting woods are in the review mirror and you frustratingly wait for your chance to greet the woods at first light again in the morning.

It's true that a lot of hunters find themselves discouraged and giving up right before things can turn productive. A lot times it’s because they either don’t know the typical location preferences of turkeys all throughout the day or they don’t understand where to go to put themselves in the right calling spot after that exciting action that comes right at fly down.

In today’s episode, I’ll cover six sweet spot locations that will help you connect with that longbeard at any time of the day.

It’s something a lot of hunters know but very few practice—sticking it out and hunting all day for turkeys. Now I realize that some states have restricted hunting hours, and you can’t hunt all day. Regardless, the encouragement is so long as it is legal hunting time, hunt! The turkeys are out there, and you should be too. Yes, it does take a lot of initiative. It can take a lot of patience. But when you’re toting out that heavy gobbler with those sharp, pointed spurs it can make the extra effort all worth it.

So, let’s take a walk through the woods from sun-up to sun-down and talk about where you should be, where you can hope to find turkeys, and what you should do when you’re there.
