to begin your hunt on opening morning? Or do you just get out of the truck and see what happens?

I have a spot where birds are very active early in the morning.. It has been this way for years, I can pretty much always see a turkey from there...I have a little hole in some cedars overlooking a bottom, and that is where I will be....

As the morning progresses, I will move around a little...I will ease down the hollar, then back up to a big open field...

No matter where I go on the property, I always end up back down at the hole in the cedars....
 
I have areas where I listen from, but no set place where I sit down and could possibly kill one from. I hunt huge tracts of land, and the birds are extremely nomadic, there is no consistency to anything they do.

Is your listening spot high upon a ridge? Then you just work your way down toward them? Is it on a bottom and you work your way up?

The way my area lays it would be hard to get above them without really tearing the woods down...I just pretty much hope they fly down to me..

Heck, I am only working with 50-60 acres...I have to be extremely cautious with my movement...I may spook everything out of the county with one bad move..

I will go to the highest point and listen and then make my move. The problem I have with listening in a low spot is its hard to pin point where the gobbles are coming from because they tend to sound muffled and bounce off the hills and can make it tough. Your spot sounds like a place I hunt in Cheatham Co.
 
I think me and a friend are trying the lake thing this year. We're going to take out his pontoon. As far as having a certain "spot" picked out I don't think we do, but we have a certain area that is about 75 acres where there seem to always be birds so that's the plan.
