Turkeygirl Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ok guys, I don't think I can go one more season without a turkey, it's killing me! Friday night I saw 4 out in a field that I frequently see turkeys in. It was cold and rained all day Saturday, no turkeys came out into the field. I went out this morning...saw nothing and heard nothing. I'm probably going to try for deer tonight but tomorrow after classes I'll go out after turkey. What should I do? I figure that if I keep sitting by this field, the turkeys will come out again at some point, but am I wasting time sitting there? Any ideas or suggestions? If I see the turkeys out in the field, I have a really good chance of actually sneaking up and ambushing them if the ground stays wet. They are either 3 hens or jakes and 1 gobbler or bearded hen. Please let me know your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Turkey dilemma... Well it is raining right now and cold. When I get home today around 4pm, I'm going to go up and sit by that field. Should I do any calling or just sit tight, or should I run and gun, and try calling in different areas? Not sure what else to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Turkey dilemma... Well I went up to that field, saw nothing in it. It was cold and pouring rain. I ended up getting cold and wet. no snow yet....I'm thinking the turkeys are just hiding out in the thick hemlocks somewhere in a little nook in the woods,lol. I'm trying to decide what to do next but any tips would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: Turkey dilemma... That's where I got my NY hen, the hemlocks. So dark you could hardly see on an overcast day. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
