Keith Kelly Talks Decoys for Osceolas

In south Florida, the terrain is much more open, and decoys are almost a necessity because we hunt these south Florida turkeys like you hunt field turkeys in other states. However, when I say, “Decoys are almost a necessity,” you can take Osceola turkeys without using decoys, if you hunt with a buddy who’s also a good caller. We hunt Osceolas by using decoys to lure them in to where we are.

Lessons David Hale Has Learned in Turkey Woods

Back when I was hunting in the Land Between the Lakes, which is a public-hunting area, if there were 1-15 turkeys harvested during the entire turkey season that would have been declared a great year for turkey hunting. Everyone else had left the woods on this particular day when at noon, I heard two turkeys gobble and went to them. As I drew closer to the birds, both longbeards would gobble, but I also noticed

The Perfect Turkey Hunting Plan

By having a plan, managing time and exercising a little self-discipline, I have become a much better turkey hunter, maximizing my efforts to the areas turkeys move to throughout the day. Many of the toms that I have harvested were taken after 10 a.m. and may have been on my second or third tract of property hunted in a single day. For the greatest success afield, it’s best to hunt where the birds go throughout

David Hale Explains When and Why to Use Turkey Decoys

If I’m hunting on a piece of property I’ve never hunted before, especially in a swampy or an open timber area, I may put a decoy out in front of my stand site, slightly off to my right or left.

Chad is located in central North Africa, and the countries around Chad are very unstable So, I knew there was an element of danger before I left to go on
