[QUOTE="chatthunting, post: 3192506, member: 9898"] Ok, lets see if I have anything helpful to add. This will be my 3 season for turkey hunting. I have not killed one yet but every year I learn a little more. In my opinion patients is the absolute no questions asked number 1 requirement. I mastered this last year. I had come closest to killing a tom than ever before. I had that booger with in 40 yards strutting back and forth. Only problem was my set up was wrong and there was alot of brush between us. I did not feel like I would have a clean shot. So for 5 to 10 minutes I watched him strut back and forth and my little heart broke and I realized it wasn't going to happen. Oh I forgot to mention I had to be at work in an hour! See I had tried out a spot, and wasn't sure if birds were in there or not. Well I was fooled and Mr. Tom won. So I know now if I can sit there and watch a tom strut back and forth and not scare him and just wait it out thats a win for me as well. remmber patients. And everything else will fall in line. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
