Turkey Hunting Tips: Pre-Season Scouting
Turkey hunters who don't scout in the pre-season aren't as likely to bag their bird in the spring as those who get the jump on turkey hunting before opening day.
Simply put, turkey hunters who don't scout in the pre-season aren't as likely to bag their bird in the spring as those who get the jump on turkey hunting before opening day.
Of course, scouting turkey hunting ground too early isn't advisable. In the winter turkeys travel in flocks segregated by maturity and sex. Turkey flocks will often travel long distances looking for food. So if you scout months in advance you are liable to see some birds that won't be there on opening day.
The most valuable scouting for spring turkey hunting takes place about 10 days before the turkey hunting season begins. By that time the weather will (hopefully) be warming and the turkey flock dynamic will be stabilizing. Mature male turkeys (toms) will be struting and fighting around the hens and any information you gather will likely help you on opening day.
There are other good reasons to scout in a 10 day window before turkey hunting season opens. Unless you have all the time in the world and are just bored, scouting for two months is a waste of time and energy. Better to save your trips for when they will do the most good.
Another important point in turkey hunting scouting is to scout correctly. If you are calling birds like crazy before opening day you are doing it wrong.
While it may be fun to practice calls and bring gobblers to you it is ultimately harmful to your activities during the season if you do it too much. All it does is educate the turkeys and make them less likely to be fooled when the real hunting starts.
You want to use calls to locate turkeys only if necessary. If you cannot locate the birds without them then a few calls become necessary. But don't call them to you like the Pied Piper or you'll hurt your chances during turkey hunting season.
The best time for scouting is pre-dawn and dawn. Get into position, wait, and listen. Don't call at all, hopefully if you are in a good position and can hear for long distances you will be able to locate the gobblers. If not, locator calls become necessary but don't go straight to hen calls.
Scouting later in the day is a time to look for signs like turkey habitat, droppings, beds, and scratching. If you are scouting near sunset look to the sky, as the turkeys fly up for the night.
Pre-season scouting also helps you locate new areas to hunt. Although "old reliable" areas are fine you are cheating yourself and limiting your opportunities if you are too inflexible. Visiting new areas is easier when you are scouting than when you are turkey hunting as you are not under extreme time pressures.
Turkey hunting is great fun but scouting for toms and hens before the spring turkey hunting season starts is a valuable exercise as well, and one that can be just as fun and yield great rewards come turkey hunting season.
