Turkey Hunting Seats For A More Comfortable Hunting Experience

People are always drawn to feasts. These get together events on a long banquet table are all part of the life of every individual. No one can really ever say he has never been to a feast or similar gathering before.

Time after time, whenever there is a special event or a holiday, it has always been the tradition of American families to share a turkey dinner. This kind of poultry can be bought in stores or caught wild from a hunting spree full of hunters and their turkey hunting seats. Every family also boasts of a special turkey recipe from grandma and how it beats those of the neighbors.

No one really knows if turkey had been served in the first ever Thanksgiving, though records show that they have gone turkey hunting before the meal. Also, when it was declared a national holiday, the president himself had served the fowl to his guests. Since then, it was raised to being the star of the holiday feast, along with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

This bird is native to the North America. The wild ones roam most thick woodlands but some grow domesticated ones for marketing purposes. The man grown ones are smaller than their cousins from the wild. Male turkeys are called gobblers, the female one are hens. The male is bigger than the female due to their feathers, but the truth of the matter is that the females have more meat. You can easily mark the male ones due to their wattles, those red flaps under their chin. This way you will know which ones to go after when hunting.

To be able to hunt successfully, one must first know the nature of the prey. By knowing all about its characteristics, you will be able to get an idea how to catch one successfully in the wild. First off, these are rather smart birds. They are very watchful and can just speed off into the horizon at the slightest form of movement. One must be able to stand or sit still during a hunt.

This bird will also eat almost anything. It is a natural omnivore whose diet consists of about ninety percent plants and ten percent small animals. It has a penchant for acorns, but will also eat other fruits, seeds, and insects. It is important to note the diet of this particular bird in order to recognize the areas where they nest.

If you want to hunt the bird for whatever reason, there are some things that you need to consider. The first one is your clothing. During the older days of hunt, plaid shirts were quite the trend to break their outline. Nowadays, for complete coverage, modern hunts men used camouflage clothing. Hats, gloves, head nets and suit used in hunting are all available in camouflage prints.

You will also need a shotgun with which you can shoot the birds. The choice in weapon varies from one hunter to the other, so you will have to rely on your instincts in choosing the perfect one for you. You may also want a turkey call so that you can produce sounds that will make them run to you.

Since this can be a whole day activity, you may also want a chair in which you can rest your tired bum on. They can be easily folded, lightweight for easy travel, and durable to withstand heavy weight. With a seat to sit on, you can now rest quite easily while waiting for the game.
