Hunting coincides with the wild turkey mating season, where gobblers can be called into gun range with calls that mimic the sounds of hens.

When turkeys are in flocks, the typical hunt strategy is to "bust up" or "scatter" a flock of turkeys, and then use turkey calls to bring the game back.

The shotgun is a popular weapon for hunting wild turkey. Bow and arrow is also used.

Full camouflage, from head to toe, to conceal yourself from the wild turkey's excellent eyesight is essential.
