yes I think it depends on how much pressure they get and how "educated" they are,,
a young jake that never seen hunter,, can be easier,, than a big bird that got shot at several times,,
but they are all fun,,
I have hunted in Tenn,, Colorado,,, New York,,,Texas,, New Mexico,, and seen easy and smart birds all over,, you just have to get lucky,, right??? Im more patient than ever,, and that helps,, I just like being out there,, when I might get a chance to shoot one,, still trying to decide on the ghillie suite,, I could use it for deer too,,

Nice set for gobbler chasing! I would highly recommend a leafy suit for all hunting. Our group here have been using leafy suits with a leafy head net for a number of years especially when trying for gobblers. We have had turkeys walk within feet of us while in the open without a blind of any sort. Of course the big thing is getting the shot off! Trying to move still gets them on the run if they see movement. We have shot gobblers as close as 8 - 10 feet away with primitive archery gear using the leafy suit. Not so with regular camo. There are 8 of us who have converted because of how well they have worked over the years. Even started using the suits for deer hunting now. Good luck this spring! The birds are starting to get quite active in our area.

well Ive been out shooting the turkey bow today,, not quite confident on a head shot,, but my accuracy is pretty consistent,, I hope if I work hard,,, I will have the confidence for a head shot,,
gonna check out the leafy suite,,for sure,, most my shots I have been practicing sitting down or kneeling,,
bradsmith2010:
well I am getting pretty excited about hunting some birds,,
still need to get my leafy suite,, my work has gotten in the way of getting all my supplies together, but I have a few weeks,, so I am ok,,
I am Still practicing nearly every day,, and working on my head shot at less than 10 yards,, I know thats a dream,, but I am still unrealistically optimistic,, hope you guys are getting ready,,, sure would like to see your set up and photos,, :G
