The foundation of turkey hunting starts by learning and understanding all the different terminology you’ll hear when chatting amongst the turkey community.

From descriptions of behaviors like roosting and strutting, breaking down the greatest sound in the natural world, the turkey gobble, to diving into how these birds feed and use different parts of the natural landscape to thrive in the environments they inhabit. This chapter will be the foundation for new turkey hunters. If you’ve long been a turkey hunter you can likely go ahead and skip this chapter as we are simply covering the basics.
