[QUOTE="catman529, post: 3192608, member: 9284"] good luck, expect to see other hunters, but try to get away from obvious spots where people will just go and listen for birds. If someone walks in and sets up in your area don't be discouraged unless he spooks all the birds away... I killed my first longbeard when another guy came in after me and set up a blind and decoys 350 yd across the same field I was hunting. I ended up getting busted by one gobbler at <5 yards and they went out to his decoys, he killed one, and they came back to me and I killed one. Are you going to stay all day? Catching em strutting before they go back to roost is another possibility. I came this >.< close to killing one on sunday evening of opening weekend last year. I made a cluck and purr and for some reason that spooked him. So don't call too much like I did.... [/QUOTE]
