[QUOTE="catman529, post: 3208724, member: 9284"] I'm a 3rd year hunter but might have a little advice, ill try... 1. Usually sometime around sunrise but can vary depending on how light, eg woods vs fields or cloudy vs sunny, etc 2. It works, especially mid to late morning, sometimes a lone bird will be gobbling looking for a hen and you don't even have to call for him to gobble (happened to me this morning) 3. Highly depends, if he's gobbling a lot or coming toward you then do not call, he's already on his way. In nature a hen comes to the gobbles so if you keep calling he thinks you are coming and waits. If you lay off the calling after getting some response, he will probably get too curious and come looking for you. 4. No decoys are not needed but people do have success with them sometimes. I've killed 15 birds spring and fall combined since I started and none were with decoys. Some stalked, some called, don't feel a need for Seles but Rhys my personal preference. 5. Not sure but they do hit fields when it rains, and it was cloudy this morning and they played around in a field all morning. 6. Afternoon is my least favorite time to turkey hunt but if you got a lone gobbler that is hammering then move in as close as possible without him seeing you and call, lone birds are usually very killable. That's the best I can offer, maybe some veteran hunters can chime in too. [/QUOTE]
