MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 30, 2023
The foundation of spring turkey hunting is to call a male turkey into range by sounding like a female turkey. It seems simple and straightforward, and sometimes it is. Other times it’s not. Being familiar with the land you hunt is just as important as being a proficient caller. That gobbler responding to your calls may want to come but there could be an obstacle between you and him, and it doesn’t take much. It could be a fence, a stream or a thick tangle of brush that might hide lurking predators. Know the terrain and make it easy for a bird to make its way to you. ~ Bob Humphrey
