Today was opening day, I was out with my bow.

No gobbles at all, none.

Saw a turkey at about 600 yards cross under the power lines. He was not interested in my calls.

After he was long gone and hunting hours were over, I went to where I saw him and found his tracks. Followed his tracks back up the dirt non vehicle road until I could no longer follow them.

I set up an ambush point usung a downed oak tree with leaves for concealment.

What are the chances he will come back along that spot tomorrow morning at about the same time?

Do they keep the same habits from day to day?

Also it is supposed to rain tomorrow morning. Do turkeys walk around in the rain?

Some say because it has been very warm, that they may already be in the nests. I did see evidence of 2 kills today. I got out there late, so they must have been early kills.

Thanks for the help

Agreed! I hunted 4 days straight and kept seeing the same hen every morning here in KY. The final day a storm came and when it let up a 28lb gobbler decided to come check my decoy out. Needless to say I had a turkey dinner...

I don't know your calling capabilities but a slate call using chirps and cuts will get them moving most the time. My grandpa said a turkeys like a woman, you just have to know how to talk to them....

If you are bow hunting especially, get permission to hunt the golf course. I have killed a lot of turkeys on golf courses. Nice thing about sticking them with an arrow on a golf course is that they are a hell of a lot easier to find and it's awesome to see a 23 lb. bird just bleed out and thump to the turf from 40 yards up in the air.

Killed a lot of geese with a bow over sand traps and water hazards, too where discharge of a firearm was not legal. The golfers loved me for it. I used to park a lawn chair in front of the big windows to the clubhouse and sit there with my bow. I would take ridiculously long shots at times...70 yards or so. Every time I connected the whole bar would stand up and cheer. When I was done I would go in and drink for free until I had to call my wife to come get me.

If all you have is a box call, you're doing it wrong...go get a slate or two with three different strikers. Some days like like what the carbon striker does on the glass. Other days it's hardwood on ceramic. You may not hear the difference, but they can. When I used to hunt them I used half a dozen diaphragms and a couple of slates.

The bird feeder toms taste the best.
