Although there is no guarantee that I am hunting the same Gobbler from year to year, targeting the one's that seem to setup in the same spots each Spring, "closest to the gate", is something I enjoy the most. Gobble the least, hunted the most, and usually have Hens right up till and beyond the closer. I am a firm believer that any Turkey can be killed on any given day, but these Gobblers develop an education that makes them "almost" unkillable. As a proud Old School Turkey Hunter, there is no greater challenge then sneaking into or very close to, one of these Old Gobblers strut zones, choosing a "kill spot", and then making him come within 40 yards of the tree I have chosen to sit against, "looking" for me. Most who are not good enough to execute this strategy, will dismiss it as "deer hunting" a Turkey, which is an entirely different method of killing Turkeys all together. Although it is a style that is not for everyone, being able to "call" these well educated Gobblers to the gun, even on days when they are not gobbling, is a skill set that demands respect, especially from the old time 'killers" I have had the privilege of learning from.
