[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5321846, member: 2805"] What's your weakest link when it comes to being a successful turkey hunter? For many, it may be calling skills. Others, it may be woodsmanship savvy. Still others, physical limitations or sensory limitations (hearing). Some it may be lack of dedication or patience. Lack of finances or time away from family certainly can play a role. Getting really in depth...a full understanding of turkey behavior and biology may limit your effectiveness. For me personally, it's the ability to successfully locate birds on unfamiliar ground. I know what good turkey habitat looks like on aerial photos. I know how to scout from roads, find tracks from the truck from dirt roads, find sign on the woods, etc... but it seems about 1 out of 10 unfamiliar places I pick to hunt actually have any birds to hunt. I'm doing something wrong. And it's not for lack of effort or being lazy. If any of you guys can help me out with this (pm is fine if you don't want to give secrets out on a public forum), I really need to improve my game in this area. [/QUOTE]
