Would it be worth it?

Last year most of the turkeys my dad saw were out in the middle of a alfala field. He said every morning they were out in the field strutting. The toms were acompanied by a few hens. My dad would call and the birds answered the first time then lost interest. Now Im wondering if it would be worth putting a blind out in the field and use 2 hen decoys with a strutting decoy also. I think it would be worth a shot. Dad likes the idea and is willing to give it a shot. What do you guys think?

It's been done before and it works. So I'd say go ahead and give it try. It's a lot easier working a bird when your calling them to a place they like to be in the first place.

I don't see why not if you can get the blind out and give them enough time to get used to it.

That is how I get most of my birds. Most have been by setting the blind up in the middle of the field where I always see the birds hanging out and wait for them.

That was last year, and there's no guarantee they will will use the same spot, or even the same field this year. It is a valid option though, if they are still there.

There's no reason why you can't set up in the middle of a field. They show little fear of blinds no matter where they are.

No need for turkeys to get used to a blind. You can set it up in the AM and the blind will not bother turkeys at all. Deer it will bother but not turkeys. Go for it. I've used a blind the last few years and just set it up where the birds are and it never bothers them.

Thanks for the input guys. We are planning on giving it a shot.

We've setup a blind right out in the open at 5pm, crawled into it & an hour or two later had a dead bird on the ground out of it. They act like blinds are invisible.
