John's Journal... Entry 135, Day 4 TALKING TURKEY WITH THE EXPERTS Bill Harper On Bagging Gobblers EDITOR'S
NOTE: To help those of us who are frustrated more often than not by Question: What is the most consistent way to kill a turkey? Answer: Hunt the strut zones. When turkeys are undisturbed, they will generally strut in a specific area at the same time every day. In this strut zone the turkey will both strut and gobble. Once you locate a region where a turkey likes to strut and gobble, take note of the time he is in the strut zone. If you find enough turkeys and their strut zones, you can hunt different turkeys in various locations all day long, depending on the particular time each turkey prefers to gobble. For instance, if you discover a turkey strutting and gobbling on top of a ridge at 9 A.M., another turkey strutting and gobbling at 11 A.M. in a nearby river bottom swamp and a third turkey strutting and gobbling on the edge of a field at 2:00 in the afternoon, you can hunt three turkeys in one day, if the turkeys are within four or five miles of each other and easy to reach. Question:
Is there another method you can use to consistently take turkeys? Question:
One of the most difficult turkeys to call is the one that is across a
creek or river from the hunter. Can you get that bird to fly across the
creek and come within gun range? TOMORROW: THE OWNERS OF KNIGHT & HALE GAME CALLS TALK TURKEY
