Are You A Sitter Or A Mover Or % Of Both?

[Fred Flintstone]

   I am a Mover- Run + Gun at least 80% of the time. I Sit around 20% of the Time.

  I like to Force the issue and Reflect on the next Maneuver.  And stay Aggressive  to keep that Gobblers interest in me going and prevent that walk off.

  I sit more if, I am with someone.  But,I hate to sit past 20 Minutes. I have to be up and moving and Reflecting on the next move.

   What Say You?

I’m for the most part a sitter. I’ll give it 40 minutes then make a move. This year I may cut 40 down to 30 if no response.

I would probably kill more birds if I didn't move so much but I want them gobbling I don't like silent birds

[JHbowhunter]

All you need to do is pick @gobblergetter ‘s brain on how to consistently kill turkeys.  He is probably one of best there is on East coast if not the world.  The amount of time you spend writing about Turkey - he spends in the woods with super high success rate.  (No offense but it’s true).    
 

I know u reported as having spent a lot of time in prime NY grounds last season with nothing to show for it.  He would have filled all tags with ease. 
 

That is the guy you should learn from.

Depends what property I am hunting. I used to hunt west Milford with about 500 acres to roam. If i hunt Jackson i have 12 acres not much room to move. I usually sit and try and figure out where the birds were. Like a chess match I move closer each week. Normally by week 5 I am withing fly down distance. This was very successful in West Milford

In NY I'm a mover because I have 1000's of acres and multilple pieces of property to hunt. In NJ i have 150 but only a small piece thats really productive for turkeys. I usually manage to take a bird in both states, but NY is much tougher.

Depends on the situation have to read the bird

Wow Really. You took it to me and way off Topic.

 Deserves  a Response...

  All my Turkeys- a Low # of 124 were all Killed on Crowded  Public and more Crowded Small Gun Club Lands.

 I HAVE NEVER KILLED A PRIVATE LAND TURKEY. 

  About 10 years total with 3 People,I have given away my opening Days and many of the best early Spring Days to ensure their success. Friends + Family. Not many Turkey Hunters are going to do that on a regular basis.  

   If,I am walking around in late May-- that is the reason. 

  There should also be a Max limit on Spring Gobblers in New Jersey . I have quoted 3 to 5 Max before. I am leaning more to 3.  

  Of course,I took a Gobbler in New York last Spring. My focus is on Cynthia. 

  There is no best in Turkey Hunting.  If,I had Private Land access with all Predators Trapped out,I would be banging them out also- Left and Right.

  I have nothing to learn from Mike k . 

   Your post above was almost a call out. I was not going to let it it Slide with many members reading.. 

  I know there is a small clique that Dislike me- ( G- Rated)- but your post deserved a response. - blackbeltbill.

Hey Bill- I have no skin in this game but must say my piece with regard to your statement and aggressive response to Jack.......One Word......either a noun or an adjective that comes to mind to not only my mind but numerous members.......THIS WORD IS NEVER ASSOCIATED WITH ONE OF THE BEST WILD TURKEY HUNTERS IN THE COUNTRY......OH, almost forgot. ON BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LAND are where Mike's ( @gobblegetter) turkeys are killed....

@LPJR I was just trying to help I don’t read much about Turkey hunting on here as I have no real interest - just had impression Fred was looking for help or advice and was struggling.  I had no idea how advanced he really was or is. Oh well.  I will stick to deer and fish.
