jesse8953 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I got permision to hunt 2 propertys. The last few days I saw turkeys at both places:D.The first one has a longbeard and 6-9 hens always around feeding in a feild, around a creek and tree line. The second place I saw a hen by herself in the woods {along a creek}and 2 longbeards in a feild 500 yards away.Today I saw the 2 longbeards in the woods when I was scouting the area. Witch spot would be the best to sit monday mourning {no hunting after 12:00}. Do I use decoys if so what kind? Hen,Jake,or a B-mobile.It is my first year and need some input from experianced turkey hunters. So what do you think:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyHeadHunter Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I would go to the farm that you know the best. Sometimes you need to move on a bird and just put yourself in the area he is heading. Knowing the land will help you use the land to your advantage. As far as the decoys go all of them will work.I don't have any of the new decoys on the market. I usually put out a single hen or hen w/ jake fairly close.

Randy Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 It's pretty early in the season and decoying birds and calling them in will be difficult if you aren't exactly where they want to be. Go where you KNOW the birds want to be and your chances of success will increase tenfold. As far as decoys go, I would go with a B-mobile and a hen or two. There are still plenty of dominant birds around that will head straight to B-mobile looking for a fight. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I would go to the spot with the least amount of hens around. Around here anyways, hens have a knack of stealing toms away before they can get to the call. Much easier to call a tom to you if you have less 'real' competition. I would maybe sit the field where the group of hens were in the late morning until noon. They may bring a tom along behind them sometime.

Flintlock1776 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I used a B-Mobile Yesterday and a hen decoy. Full details here: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85257 Maybe some of the things I did yesterday will work for you. Good luck!
