Fall or spring turkey hunting is not a simple sport. Others may follow rules by the book - studying turkey behaviors depending on the season, purchasing the savviest gears and practicing the turkey call to perfection but still find it excruciating to take down a turkey. What is lacking in this checklist are a few turkey hunting tactics that will prove very useful for a successful hunt.

This is the first among the tried and tested turkey hunting strategies in every hunter's book: The closer you try to get to a turkey, the more it will run away. Turkeys have superhuman eyesight and hearing and they will hear and see a hunter that is stalking them. The golden rule in turkey hunting tactics is to let the "turkey come to you".

When a tom struts and gobbles in response to the hen call that a hunter is making and yet it doesn't get close enough to be shot, the best approach is to decrease the frequency of the turkey call until such time that a hunter stops calling at all. It may sound preposterous but really this is one of the most recognized turkey hunting tactics every hunter should know. Gobblers are proud and stubborn and the more it hears a desperate hen call it, the more it waits for a hen to approach it. Now, if a hunter stops the call entirely that's the time when a tom will gobble its way to the hunter's direction in search for the hen.

For hunters who keep on doing turkey calls with no avail, the best advice is to change the turkey call from time to time to be able to lure a turkey. Patience is among the most important attitude that a hunter must possess. Turkey hunting can be accomplished easily by using clever methods. Chasing the turkey would not be enough since they are fast and elusive. Hunters would only waste their stamina. By placing ambushes and proper traps, they can be surprised and caught easily. Hunters would not be required to waste their ammunition using these methods.

And lastly, it best to remember that safety is still number on the list of turkey hunting tactics. When a hunter sees another hunter in the woods, it is best to speak to him to get his attention. A hunter that uses turkey calls to catch the attention of another hunter is in danger to be shot especially when the hunter is hidden. Any slight movement might cause another hunter to mistake a hunter into a turkey.
