[QUOTE="Setterman, post: 5043348, member: 8139"] Tents iMO should be removed. Even if hunting small tracts. It just makes hiding too easy, you can do jumping jacks and birds won’t spook. That to me is an unfair advantage I really don’t agree with run and gun, the walking calling looking for a receptive bird really has negative impacts on large or small tracts in my opinion. I do not think most people realize how many birds they bump, roaming all over the place. So many birds are silent, henned up or whatever and get bumped by the run and gunners. a far better tactic and one that has served me well, is to hang in areas near where you hear birds on the limb, and wait for them to tip their hand on their location. Not sitting and calling, but just sitting and listening. its amazing how many times a workable bird will crack off allowing you to pinpoint and move into an ideal position. I have sat for hours waiting for a bird I know is around to free gobble, when he does, I will close and repeat the waiting until I’m in what I consider the best position before making a sound. It takes immense patience, but it flat out works and leaves birds less pressured than the run and gun tactic which I do not like especially if you want vocal birds late season [/QUOTE]
