Colors such as red, white, and blue should not be worn by hunters. Also, hunters should position themselves with a large solid object as a backrest, such as a large tree. Blaze orange is not a hunting requirement, but should be considered for use when moving into and leaving your favorite hunting spot during daylight hours. This can be attributed to the excellent weather conditions the first week of the season and the exceptional brood survival of the spring of 1999. This bumper crop of poults resulted in a larger than average number of two-year old gobblers this spring.
Hunters can expect similar results the next three weeks.
Hunters should be aware that some of the best opportunities to kill a bird is later in the morning after the hens have left the gobblers.
