And I do love calling elk.

I've always had the most success in the morning, I like to start before the turkeys come out their roost tree. LISTEN for them as they're super loud in the morning. I've been able to spot and stalk on a couple and I bumped my Tom last year in thick brush. Look for south aspect slopes with a good mix of large fir or pine roosting trees. If you think it's too steep for turkeys, it probably isn't... they don't mind the very steep stuff at all.

Calling can be fun but I've never found it necessary where I go. I think if you wanted to give it a go for your first time and wanted to save some $$ you wouldn't have to buy decoy(s). A box call is nice though to cover some of your sound.

Any particular brand for the box call that's better than others.

This is very good advice and something most hunters overlook all the time.

I prefer mouth reeds personally. The less movement you make, the better. If you have any experience with using them for elk hunting it is pretty easy to get the hang of.

tell your mom to throw grain out.

Is it Legal to Bait turkeys ? RJ

Cool thread! Some big fun chasing them with a bow! Never got one and only had the opportunity once as a happy coincidence while elk hunting. Since they are habitual a guy could set up a tree stand specifically for them... I guess they might have their attention focused on threats on the ground?

I do prefer mouth reeds in general but thought something like the hoochie mama equivalent might be the way to go since I've never really.called turkeys before
