I will start this off by saying that I have never hunted a turkey but I am really looking forward to giving it a shot this coming spring. I live right on the Mississippi River here in MN and there is a flock of about 30-40 turkeys that roost in the trees on the opposite side of the river. The river is about 80-90 yds across on this stretch and I was wondering if you experienced turkey hunters thought it might be possible to make some early morning calls to see if they would fly across the river when they come down from their roost? I have watched them drift pretty far along the opposite bank when they come down, but didn't know if they would come across the river if it sounded like there was some action over here? The terrain on both sides is almost the same...just a few more neighbors on this side.
Any insights would be much appreciated. Heck I may try it just for the fun of it and see what happens.
