The turkey-hunting success senior editor Ryan Chelius and I enjoyed in South Dakota in early April was the result of scouting and patterning early-season flocks of twenty birds or more. As our guide, Lake Pickle of onX, put it: “When they’re bunched up, you kill more on your butt than you will on your feet.” The trick is knowing where and when to plant your butt, and that means figuring out what the turkeys do all day.
