2022 spring turkey
There are a lot of great bucks up here . The public ground has just as good a chance as private in my area.. I hunt in the most southern seven counties. Baiting isn't allowed in Illinois.. mineral sites are not allowed in Illinois... The game wardens,,state and federal,, are very active here...- jjhill

2022 spring turkey
Hello folks! Seasons were a roller coaster this year.. Illinois went well with a two bird self imposed limit... Tennessee was a tough one this year. The birds were spotty on public ground down there... I was fortunate enough to do well on my first ever trip to Montana on public ground.. I owe a...- jjhill

Yep... I agree... I may play with them after first light but if they head out I tend to pickup and go check other spots then make my way back around ten or so to the exact spot where I heard him last and try to re strike him if I didn't find a hot bird that was alone somewhere else..- jjhill

That's true.. some of the old checkered plaid works better than the new stuff.. northern deer hunters have taken hundreds of good bucks wearing plaid shirts !- jjhill

It's very noticeable on some of the outdoor videos when they are giving a before dawn or after dark interview and it looks like they are standing there in white snow suit then it gets light out and you notice they are wearing camo.. the new stuff looks very good to people, but not to animals..- jjhill

Has anyone else done the after dark trail cam test on all the newer camo ? I have.. most brands fail miserably... Animals,,, in particular, deer and turkey see UV very well... Have you had a gobbler get up to about 60 or 70 and suddenly stop, stretch up , fix his wing and turn and high neck it...- jjhill

Yuns have heard the term " run and gun " .. I was that way till I passed 45.... Loved it !! Now I use the term " slip and sit ". Unless I got some blabber mouth birds moving out of the country on me, then I will pick up the pace..I sat in one blind one time in the pouring rain but that's it...- jjhill

2022 spring turkey
I generally do not pack decoys and almost zero set in a blind for Turks.. I prefer to be mobile and use terrain and calling to get close to them . Sitting knees up,, front side of the tree.. I am wondering if this style is a minority or if a majority??? What's your thoughts???- jjhill

I would like to add a tip to contacting the local dnr and biologist.. they will tell you where the birds are and the approximate numbers but they also will tell the other 50 or one hundred people who have called or contacted them... It will be the exact info they tell you.. there is nothing...- jjhill

I don't have much advice on that subject.. I am practically in the same boat. What I can tell you as the one difference is roost sites for the Rio in Oklahoma was pretty well limited to cottonwood ditch rows in the western part of the state... They did have a lot more roost areas in the Eastern...- jjhill
