In the spring turkeys start there breeding cycle. Toms gobble in the tree right at day break, they do this in an effort to locate hens from the previous day so that they can mate.  Hunters attempt to get as close as possible to the tom while it is still in the tree before the hens come to him. Hunters must be stealthy as turkeys can see very well. At that time, the hunter sits down and starts making hen calls with a wooden or mouth call.  The tom eventually flies off the tree onto the ground. The hunter then continues to call the turkey into a range that would be an ethical range to make a shot with a shotgun or bow.
