Well honestly I think it depends on the level of the hunter. Some folks like the basics and how to stuff, and others like the little things that make them a better hunter. | ||

I would like to learn maybe just one call... i.e.. a kee-kee on a friction call (like you showed me on your crystal..i still can't do it ) i figure if each time i go to a seminar and walk away with a new call up my sleeve i'll be doing good. just one small suggestion | ||

I guess details more than anything - stuff you don't always read about or hear about. For example, GN has posted two things on the board in the last week that I have never heard; how wind affects turkeys movements and how to use forest inventory maps to locate likely spots. That kind of stuff is great. It all relates to locating turkeys and getting a better idea how turkeys move according to weather/environmental conditions. Specific approaches to different terrains may be good too, like hunting in mountains, swamps, fields, etc.... I think the more detail the better. | ||

That's kind of a tough one since I would guess that in most cases there will be a variety of ages, skill levels & interests in a given seminar. I always get something out of any seminar I attend. Ya know, everyone needs a little review of things we already "know" from time to time. Just helps to beat things back into my head every now & then to help keep me from doing something stupid early in the season. I agree with the other guys, though. I like to learn something specific that I can take back and work on. I, too, can't kee-kee on a slate & would love some help. I have to rely on mouth call to kee-kee & cackle. Back in college I had a couple of professors who were experts and had a couple of turkey hunting books to their credit. A bunch of us would get together once a week for 2 months prior to the spring season and have calling sessions. We'd, of course, benefit from the informal seminars of these 2 professors during those calling sessions. I miss those days... | ||

MtnBuk: Wow, what kind of college was that? I surely made the wrong choice for higher education. All of my professors were socially challenged to carry on a conversation in English...turkey lingo was certainly not an option. I may go back to school if Gobbleobble-101 were part of the curriculum. LOL. |
