Hunting the 1,000 Yard Toms

There’s a place in Maryland I hunt that I call the Rock Ledge. The front of the mountain has a straight rock ledge drop-off. A group of turkeys roost on that Rock Ledge. When they fly from the roost, they glide for about 1,000 yards and land in an agricultural field. When I first discovered those turkeys, I set up about 100 yards away from them and started calling.

Finding Somewhere to Hunt on 2017’s Opening Day

I’d identified a place last year, made a note of it and marked the spot where I saw a turkey run across the road on one of my scouting trips before opening day.

Previously I’d never seen

Picking a Place for an Opening Morning Public Land Hunt

I ride the road listening for turkeys and looking for other people listening for turkeys. If I go by a spot two or three consecutive mornings where I’ve heard a turkey gobble and don’t see or hear anyone else’s vehicle parked there, then I know this is a good place to start my early-morning, public-land turkey hunt.

BioLogic’s Non-typical Clover Is Very Effective

Mossy Oak BioLogic has one wildlife planting that attracts turkeys as well as deer, and it’s relatively new for BioLogic – Non-Typical Clover. This new blend of clover has been found suitable for food plot plantings from New York to Georgia and from east Texas north. Non-Typical Clover is late to flower, so you'll get 6-8 more weeks of good, quality deer and turkey forage before the clover begins to flower.
