This affords the hunter an opportunity to harvest the bird with a clean shot in order to make the harvest quick. The hunter will then wait for a time where the Wild Turkey is parallel to their position and the side of the head is exposed. Oftentimes in the Spring, the dominant male will come within range while in "strut". In a typical hunting scenario, either with a shotgun or a bow, the hunter waits for the dominant male, or "tom", to get within range. There is no single decoy that covers every possible situation.
When a dominant gobbler sees that, he gets territorial and aggressive because he wants to breed the hen rather than a youngster. In the past couple of years many turkey hunters have started using decoys to make it seem like a "jake"- a young gobbler- is trying to breed a hen. When the gobbler gobbles, he gives away his location so you can sneak up on him and get close and "call him up". Crows will also shock a gobbler into gobbling. To do this, you can either use your voice or you can even use a specific call to produce the sound. Turkey hunters will often "owl" to shock a gobbler into gobbling. While artificial or synthetic scents like those used by hunters of deer and other game are not typically utilized while hunting turkey, removal or masking of foreign scents from the hunter and his equipment is a technique which is commonly used by hunters of wild turkey. Scent control also contributes to the turkey hunter's technique. This causes a turkey to "shock" gobble and give away his location.

Turkey hunters usually wear full camouflage, from head to toe, to conceal themselves from the wild turkey's excellent eyesight.
Some states even allow small caliber rifles to be used while pursuing turkeys. Common hunting broadheads are used for body shots while "guillotine" style broadheads are intended to remove the head with the shot. Bow and arrow is starting to become popular among hunters. Shotgun gauges used in turkey hunting include 10, 12, 16, and 20 gauge.#2, #4, #5, and #6 lead shot is often used in 2 3/4", 3", or 3 1/2" shotshells.
The shotgun is a popular weapon for hunting wild turkey. Fall seasons occur when turkeys are in flocks, and the typical fall hunt strategy is to "bust up" or "scatter" a flock of turkeys, and then use turkey calls to encourage the scattered birds to group back up together. Spring hunting coincides with the wild turkey mating season, where gobblers can be called into gun range with calls that mimic the sounds of a hen. Spring hunts target gobblers (male turkeys) and fall hunts usually target either sex.
