How to QUICKLY Find and Pattern Turkeys | Turkey Hunting
If you are learning how to hunt turkeys the first thing you need to know is the fastest way to find turkey roost locations and pattern them! We start our pre-season scouting about 2 weeks before the opener, and use that time to find the roost locations of the turkeys on our property and determine the best locations to hunt. Turkeys love to roost on ridges, so finding property that has river bottoms or other terrain features can be a hot spot. From there you are going to want to listen to the birds 10 minutes before shooting light until about 10-15 minutes before sunrise. During that “gobble window” the birds will be most vocal and easy to locate. Having electronic earmuffs to enhance your hearing distance will help a ton.

Electronic hearing enhancement isnt permitted in (all states ) like Pennsylvania.
Only prescription ordered medical hearing aids for hunters with actual hearing deficits.
There’s no flat land where I live. Should I be hunting ridge tops, or valleys?
I have noticed they don’t always roost in the same trees, they will it seems every couple of days so I have 2 areas where they might be, then I know where the open fields are !! To me it’s a rotation every couple of days! It’s figuring out where to be ahead of them or where their going! I started in Turkey hunting since 2020 and have shot a Turkey every year!! I even went to Florida in 2022 and got Me a Osceola ❤❤❤❤ Now I go back to Colorado I’ll go for the Merriam’s and the Rio Grande Turkeys!! Good Luck Hunting and Be Safe!! Thanks for more info!!
" the hardest part is waking up early" so true
Great video again… got my Remington 870 an hour ago from basspro… can’t wait to go hunting with my boys.
What about river bottoms
Ahh ahh
Ok quick question have any of y’all ever had a gobbler chase a hen up into roost around mid morning
Takes a lot more than just a ridge to hold birds. Bumping a roost pre season is a huge rookie mistake.
how are those earmuffs if you’re around airbases?
I was hunting on some property last year that was loaded with Turkeys, but I haven’t been seeing them them this year. Where did they go?
"Really the hardest part is waking up early." Oh brother I second that…
Question when moving in to area and trying to get a gobble , I have found getting there before shooting light is a problem without using a light. Using a headlamp to me risk the birds will spot me?
Where did you find those earmuffs?
