Which one are you? I guess I'm more "Sage" than anything. Most of the guys I learned to Turkey hunt from were born in the 1920's & 30's so I suppose they rubbed off on me. Several have passed on & I think about them every time I'm sitting in the turkey woods.

The Sage
He was around for the wild turkey restoration, and he'll tell anyone who'll listen all about it. Back in those days, he had to make every gobble count. That's why he's such a killer now.
he faded camouflage on his boonie hat matches the gray in his beard. He keeps a copy of Tenth Legion in his vest and can quote from it on command.
Quote:
The Performer
Show this man a hardwood ridge, and he'll show you a stage where he can put his contest-calling routine on display. Whether a turkey gobbles or not, the Performer will let loose with yelps, cutts, or fighting purrs. He arranges his instruments before him in the predawn like a surgeon preparing for a transplant.

The Go-Getter
The Go-Getter has never seen a longbeard that belly crawling couldn't kill. His answer to any turkey hunting dilemma is to move closer. Always. Slither through 10 inches of ditch water. Sneak around the back side of a hill. Or just crouch and walk behind a fan or a gobbler decoy. Waiting, watching, and listening are not for him.

The Camper
No turkey was ever spooked by someone sitting quietly and waiting, and so that's how the Camper hunts. He finds a field that he likes and erects a blind. He doesn't bring a decoy; he brings an entire artificial flock. Each individual fake is set precisely and for a purpose. Hell to the hunting buddy who faces the jake in the wrong direction.
