[QUOTE="philsanchez76, post: 5060188, member: 20332"] Great advice! This was my number one rookie mistake. Once I heard a gobble I thought I had to get within spitting distance of it. I ALWAYS ended up busting those birds. Should of set up when I thought I was 100-150 yards from it. Second thing I found out the hard way is that gobblers will silhouette you easily. I was kind of off to the side of a tree when a gobbler popped out and even though I was 100% still, he still saw my silhouette and busted out of there before I could shoot. You really have to try to either be totally in shadows or back directly up against a tree that will break up your outline. [/QUOTE]
