Found this little bit of wisdom on another site:coco::dizzy::(
The Scenario: You know turkeys are feeding and breeding in the middle of a large green field surrounded by woods.
The Tactic: Sit/Git ... or Give Up
The Reasoning: Sit as close to the field's edge as you can and try to call the hens to you. If they ignore you, wait them out and see where they go. If they go away from you, circle around the green field and ambush them as they enter the woods. If you can't get around them, note where they exit the field and be set up with a decoy near that spot the next morning. Or if it's private land and you're desperate, crawl up to them using a strutting gobbler silhouette decoy held in front of you.:coco: If that doesn't work, dig a pit in the middle of the field at night and wait for them to march by in the morning. If that doesn't work, find some easier turkeys!
BTW just for you new turkey hunters. DO NOT DO THIS!
