Reasons for the “Hang Up”

Each spring millions of hunters take to the woods with visions of longbeards running into their set up. Taking into consideration the basics of nature, it’s not rocket science why birds stay out of gun range. Never the less, it leaves turkey hunters scratching their heads season after season. There are many reasons a gobbler will halt his forward progression. I will elaborate on the most common and possible solutions for alleviating this dilemma.

The Obstacle

At some point in your turkey hunting endeavors you will come across a gobbler that will stay out of gun range. It is almost as if he has some type of invisible shield blocking him from your position. He will mysteriously impede his march towards your set up and for no apparent reason. Barriers will often hinder a turkey’s travel and the hunter is unaware there was an obstacle. Read more

Fall Turkeys: A Bird Of Another Feather – Scott Ellis

With summer winding down the arrival of archery, muzzle loading, early duck, and dove season is greatly anticipated. People are tuning bows, sighting scopes and plowing fields. It could also be a great time to tune those turkey calls for the upcoming fall season. Most states offer turkey as fair game during archery and all but a few offer a fall turkey season. (check your local game laws to verify your season and what is legal to take, gobbler, hen or both) Fall turkey hunting can definitely put your hunting skills to the test.

When most people hear turkey hunting they generally associate it with a strutting tom and the beautiful sound of a gobble during the spring. Learning the art of fall turkey hunting not only increases your chances of putting a bird in the freezer for Thanksgiving, it allows you to learn more about turkeys and how they live throughout the year, not solely during the mating season.
