Turkey Hunting?

[TheMadCatter]

I went out today and I can't get the dang toms away from the hens they're with and I pissed the hens off to get them in close but then they backed off. I then had a jake come in and tried to pull my bow back and my blind is too small! So, I got up in a stand and placed my 2 hen dekes out below and I had a tom come in with 5 hens at 50 yards and the hens wanted to beat the crap out of the dekes but got nervous for some reason.

Any other tactics to get them in close? I have a larger blind, just a pain to bring out there everytime.

I wouldn't hunt out of a stand. Especially a 6 footer. Turkeys can pick you off extremely easy. Maybe when the leaves are up and over 20ft but even then your limiting yourself. Turkeys like wide open spaces. A blind in the middle of the field will work flawless. I would be buying a bigger blind.

As said, the blind is the way to go. The turkeys dont seem to mind, so bring the biggest you have.

Big blind, lots of room to move and maneuver, the way to go.
