How to Fool a Wild Turkey

Turkey hunting is a bi-yearly sport that draws thousands out into the wild to lure and hunt wild turkeys. Despite the plump and slow moving look that most turkeys have on Thanksgiving decorations, bagging a turkey in the wild is easier said than done. Not only do you have to lure the turkey to you, but you also have to keep it in your gun sight without it spotting you.

If you are going to fool a wild turkey into coming within range, you have to call it to you. This is done with a turkey call. With this simple device you can mimic both loud and soft turkey calls. If a turkey feels that there are other turkeys in the neighborhood, he is more likely to move about and show himself, hopefully traveling close enough to the source of the sound to be within range.

Here is where the tricky part comes in. While turkeys are prepared to investigate the source of other turkey sounds, they will fly away as soon as they realize it is a hunter, and not another turkey, that is making those sounds. Therefore, you must not only fool your turkey with sound, but also with sight.

Unfortunately, turkeys are not color blind. In fact, they have excellent eyesight. It is believed that turkeys are able to see just as well, if not better than humans. This means you can't wear your blaze orange jumpsuit from deer hunting season. Instead you need to don camouflage that helps you blend in with your surroundings. Buy camo that matches your terrain; evergreen forests look different than prairies. Remember to cover not only your shirt and pants, but also your hands, face, and boots.

With any luck, between your turkey call and camouflage you will be able to fool your wild turkey and take him home to the dinner table.
