turkey during the spring mating season is the supreme experience. The most
sporting way is to sit on the ground dressed in full camo with your back to
a tree and don't move a muscle while you call (with a mouth or box call
device you've practiced with for days) incessantly like a passionately
romantic hen. The normally wily toms lose their head (somewhat like humans
of the male gender) and literally come running in seeking the amorous hen(s).
They often go into a strut right in front of your eyes to display their
"manliness" and sometimes even attempt to mount the rubber hen decoy you're
using. All-in-all it's unbelievable performance. Their eyesight for color is
superb, but not for shape. Their hearing is out of this world.
Once I got into a calling contest w/ a group of real hens for the interest
of two toms who were in-between us. I would have won save for a damn fence
that kept the toms from coming close enough to get shot.
