Get your jake out. A tom can strut in a area waiting for your hen decoys to come to him, if they don't come to him they probably don't want to do the deed. If your jake is out he will be upset to see a jake with hens in his area and come in to investigate.
Anyone else hunt the third season? What a crappy weather season we were dealt. With the crap forecast, Dad and I decided to hit the road at 2 in the morning on Thursday down to our annual southern iowa 3rd season turkey vacation to get at least one nice day of hunting(which ended up being not...
We've been laughing about this everytime we watch the video. The kid has no patience when a tom is in range she wants to shoot it instantly, where I'm waiting for the perfect time when there isn't much bobbing and weaving going on. I guess when I was young I was probably the same way.
Dang what a trip! Lucky gal.
One tip I might have for the missing that's going on(both my daughters 13 & 15yos hunt and have yet to miss turkeys).....If you're not already, put your jake decoy where you want to shoot your turkey. 9 times out of 10 the Tom will walk up and strut right next...

After taking my daughter youth hunting a few times in September and fighting heat and mosquitoes without any success I was pretty anxious to get in a stand last Thursday morning with a freeze alert for my first bow sit of the fall. So I climbed a ladder stand on a public piece that treats me...
Those kids first trump anything we adults do in the woods IMO! Congrats to this youngster! Both my girls love turkey hunting...deer hunting not so much as we don't have much luck. Sept is a tough time of year to hunt.
This is my entry for the year. This was my 4th season bird, my biggest hooks to date. He was a tricky tom to get. My first encounter with him was two days prior. When I had a pair of toms gobble at every call I gave them through the woods all the way to the field edge I was hunting. When...
Great Year.... Not so much in line of fired up toms but this was our best year for killing birds, with only being skunked on one hunt and thats because the toms well within range didn't want to be on video.
I'll share a few of the hunts from this year.
First is my daughter. After...
