Talking Turkey -- Get A Gobbler With A Hunting Camera
Turkeys are a crafty. Very crafty. And, if you aren't at the top of your game when it comes to your hunting skills, those sneaky toms will sneak right up on you and be gone before you even knew they were there. In fact, his eyesight is 10 times better than yours is, so if you even shift your weight at the wrong time, he'll see it. It's no different when you're scouting. If you want to find your turkey, consider using a hunting camera and take the hunter out of the equation.
Using The Right Hunting Camera
Turkeys move around a lot and they don't seem to waste too much time getting from one spot to another. Therefore, you want something with a good shutter speed to avoid getting images with nothing but the back tail feathers. Don't go too fast, however, since faster shutter speeds also mean a shorter distance. To maintain this speed, you'll also need a model with a short recovery time.
The width of the detection zone can also help you a great deal. You'll find that wider zones will give you a good idea of what birds are around. This way, if you have more than one tag, you know if there are more turkeys in the area or if you'll have to go elsewhere. You'll want to keep in mind here that how you set up and run the camera will make all the difference.
How To Set Up And Get The Best Picture
Getting your hunting camera set up properly right from the beginning is important to prevent you from having to wander through their area too often. So where should you set up? A good place to start is wherever the turkeys are eating.
This could be a field full of food or even next to a set of grain bins. Foods you'll want to look for include corn, wheat, seeds, and clover. Of course, one of the most obvious spots you can set up is wherever you find scratching.
When you're done, you'll have a pretty good idea of what turkeys you have in your area, including how many toms, hens, and younglings. You will be able to predict where your turkeys are throughout the day and what they're up to. You'll also want to change areas every week or two to prevent from putting too much stress on the birds.
Hunting turkeys is certainly an art form. It's not something where you can expect results without some careful planning. You want to use the hunting camera to help you improve your planning so you can hunt more efficiently.
You'll be able to figure out what time of day to hunt, what to watch out for, and even where to hunt since it's easier to call your target farther down his own path rather than trying to tempt him somewhere new. In the end, the secret to your success is how well you know your prey and how good you are at collecting information.
