Been awhile since I learned anything major about Turkey hunting but today was one of those days...
I did not get the ghost bird today but I manage to figure out why my 'lucky' spot on the creek' is lucky. I watched a hen literally fly across the road about a quarter mile and into the 12 yr old pine cutover where the ghost bird gobbled last . Started hunting around here in 2017 once we got enough birds. Never occurred to me but,,,,Evidently hens like to roost on my farm and fly across the road to where the gobblers like to roost. My lucky setup spot on the creek' which is on my neighbors farm just so happens to be smack dab in the middle of the 2.
I also learned that turkeys will hang in my neighbors thick 12 yr old pines on a cold windy day.
