10 Tips for More Successful Spring Turkey Hunting
Here are 10 tips that will help your spring turkey hunting trips to be more successful.
One thing that most hunters overlook is patterning their shotgun. Many hunters might be surprised at the results. Shotguns that shoot off of center are quite common. Also hunters need to be certain that their chosen load throws an even pattern at all hunting distances.
Practice with your calls as much as possible. Whether you spring turkey hunt with a diaphragm call, box, or slate call, be ready to produce a range of sounds. All turkey hunters need to be able to produce a good yelp. If you can't do this spend all of your time on it and forget the rest until the yelp is mastered.
Hunters need to practice their contact calls as well. While many hunters do spend at least some time working on yelps, clucks, and purrs, those owl hoots and crow calls is where spring turkey hunting usually begins.
Have your camouflage ready to go. Getting into the woods to find that you have forgotten your facemask or gloves can be a disaster. I recommend some face paint be stored in your hunting vehicle for use when this occurs.
Spring turkey hunting usually requires sitting against a tree and being motionless for some amount of time. Hunters need to be prepared with a comfortable seat. Many models and sold and many types of seats can be made. Find one that works for you.
Get a turkey decoy and learn to use it to add a new dimension to your spring turkey hunting.
Be prepared to stay comfortable in the woods. Plenty of liquids, some snacks, and bug spray will go a long way to keeping you in the woods during spring turkey season.
Though morning is by far the best time to spring turkey hunt, hunt whenever it is legal. Turkeys are taken all day long by patient hunters. Be among them to improve your odds of success.
A spring turkey hunting tradition is to owl hoot or gobble to get roosting gobblers to sound off their location at sundown. If at all possible every hunter should do this to provide them with motivation to get up early and a location to focus the morning's hunt.
The last tip for more successful spring turkey hunting is to be careful. There are a lot of dumb people in the woods and you need to be aware of what is going on around you. If approached by another hunter speak loudly to announce that you are a human. Be certain of your target and what is beyond it before firing as with all other hunting. Coming home after a safe day in the field is the most important measure of hunting success.
Get out there this spring and enjoy your time in the woods whether the turkey cooperate or not.
