SPACE-AGE GOBBLERS
 Hunt
Non-Pressured Gobblers
EDITOR'S NOTE: In preparing for turkey season, you
can't know where you'll hunt. The tom himself will dictate
the place you'll hunt, the type of terrain you'll have
to cross, and how wet you'll get before you return to
your truck. During the spring while turkey hunting,
I'll usually get lost and need some type of  navigational
device. The hand-held GPS (global positioning system)
will aid your scouting and your hunting turkeys this
season.
A hand-held GPS receiver allows you
to hunt areas other hunters won't or can't hunt. Because
most hunters rarely go more than 200 yards off any road
for fear of getting lost, the turkeys that roam close
to any road receive the most hunting pressure.  By
starting your hunt at least 1/4-mile from a road, you
can get into places and pinpoint gobblers
most hunters never hear or see. Often these non-pressured
turkeys will respond to calling better
then birds called to constantly. Too, on public lands,
the GPS receiver enables you
to hunt far more woods and pinpoint many more toms than
hunters who don't take advantage of
the GPS outer-space technology.
