just be sure you go out and scout from early to the opening of hunting season and find where they are roosting and you should do okay

Last year was my first year too and I got hooked, so now I am counting down the days till I get back out there.

IF you dont have any luck first thing in the morning, who cares! 10:30am is Prime Time .

Just HUNT HARD! Like 13 just said! Dont give up! I normally try to Hunt all day! I pass up on the lil jakes waiting for the biggest gobbler! Where I hunt I have pick and choose! There are so many birds in my area!

But really if nothing happens around 11-2 try to shock them and locate one! Then its GAME ON!

Couple more tips! Try to make sure there is not a fence inbetween you and the bird! That will cause them to hang up! When they Hang up! Its gets rough!

Also try to set up on a Hill! Birds like to be called to something on a high spot! If your down in a gully! They normally will not come down!
