Surprise turkeys on the beach
Gobblers that are banded together in autumn rarely respond to hen calls, but you can stalk them at close range. Patrol lake shorelines by boat to scout for birds drinking and feeding shortly after dawn. Pass at a wide distance until you're screened by a bend or point of land; then beach your craft and circle back quietly on foot. Creep into shotgun range, using foliage, trees, and wind sounds to hide your movement.

I have been turkey hunting for 2 years and i have used all of those techniques. I have found those techniques to be very effective by killing my 1st turkey, an 11in beard 1in and 1/4 spurs and weighed 25lbs. I will for sure use them again this year. Mark comment offensive
