Oudoors Insider, with Dale Sunderlin: Research is, indeed, for the birds DALE SUNDERLIN Star Beacon Go figure, a couple of weeks ago, several of my turkey hunting buds and I were discussing turkey behavior.
When do they move, what makes them gobble? Why do they stay on the roost longer sometimes rather than others? How do you pattern a turkey’s behavior, etc? I’ve read a lot on deer behavior and how the weather, the rut, food sources and all the like that affect deer but there’s not much out there on turkey. Ever since that discussion, I’ve been a turkey-hunting fool on a mission. A mission to see if there were any indicators out there to help myself and inform my readers of a few things that may help you be in the woods at the right place and time. In other words, perfect timing. Perfect timing What is perfect timing? The obvious answer, with regard to spring turkey hunting, anyway, is that which occurs when you find yourself in the right place at the right time because of luck or skill or a mixture of both. Can you adjust? The next question, then, is, can you adjust to circumstances as they occur during a typical spring season? And finally, will your hard work actually improve your chances for being in the woods when at least a few gobblers are ready to sound off in answer to your interpretation of basic hen calls? Heck, yeah The quick answer to the above questions is, of course, yes. However, there’s more to the subject of perfect timing than a number of hunters may realize. To put yourself in those special moments for success normally takes a fair amount of understanding as to what affects turkey behavior under a variety of circumstances. Moreover, that, generally, is something that comes with experience.
