before i get into turkeys, please folks, we waited a long time for a hunting
group that would discuss hunting so can we avoid long arguments about items and
issues that we already agreed would not be discussed in this group?  anyway...
my husband and i were picked for both the minnesota and michigan spring hunts
(and are we happy!!)  in minnesota we hunt the area south of the twin cities
along the mississippi (lots of rolling terrain and ridges) but in michigan we
spend a lot of time hunting farmers' land (these turkeys love to eat in the
fields that are being plowed). my question, are there different tactics on
hunting farm loving turkeys who like to disappear into little woodlots when
they get nervous?  we took some fall turkerys in michigan (upper peninsula)
but during our spring hunt never got close enough to get a shot (but had a 
lot of fun watching).  any turkey hunting thoughts, ideas are always welcome
especially on hunting these michigan birds.
