Turkeys are my concern. I've been hunting them for years. HUNTING, not killing. I know where to find them, I get there before they do, I put out decoys (usually a feeding hen, sometimes a jake), I call (usually with a diaphragm call, I practice and sound like the cds, computer sounds, and bone collector tv show sound), but they just won't come in close enough to make a shot! I've had hens come close, usually while running and gunning, but when a tom shows up he stays away. Can anyone tell me anything that will help?
I live and hunt in western NC (Shelby area, if you're local). I hunt mostly cow pastures as that's what people allow me to hunt and I don't have my own place. The area I'm hunting currently is about 300 acres, so there's plenty of room. I see most of the turkeys between a field that's growing what will become hay and a creek. the field belongs to a neighbor and I can't hunt them in the field itself. Your suggestions are very much appreciated.
