When the pilgrams set foot here they found turkeys all over the place. Why? Cause the Indians didnt kill them, they felt it was wrong to kill something so stupid.

I use a set of binocs to see where they are, then I stalk them till I am close enough for a kill. No camo, no calls, no fake turkeys just me and the turkey. In spring the toms are easy to spot, they puff up real nice, try to find a group with many toms as they will be all about showing off for the gals. Makes them easy to sneak up on. They also make a lot of noise, easy to sneak up on. I use a 11-87 with a full choke and 3 in mag in 4 shot. Hit them in the neck or head, they are too fat for a body shot to be effective unless you ruin the meat.

Good luck, hope you have a lot of turkeys as we do.
