Those who were unsuccessful may purchase a leftover license on or after 10 a.m. March 29 for specific Turkey Management Areas or buy a license for Hunt 233, which allows any unsuccessful turkey applicant to hunt in any TMU in the state. Leftover licenses are available on a first-come basis, and can be used in the specified area. He also looks for dusting sites after 10 a.m. Dusting is usually done in sandy areas, and the sand helps to separate feathers. Find a dusting site, and put a hen decoy in it and use soft clucks and purrs. Use soft clucks and purrs, and make scratching sounds in the leaves like a feeding bird.
Turkeys begin moving toward roost trees about two hours before dark.
It could be that it has encountered water such as a creek, lake or river, or because it becomes confused or frightened by too much calling. Try calling less or turn your back to the unseen bird and call softly as if a hen is walking away. If a turkey has been spooked by another hunter, or had heard the same call before, try using a different type of call and make each call softer to reduce the sound level. A gobbler on a wooded ridge will fly down from a roost and walk the ridge. Always try to be on the same level or slightly above the bird.
