The second weekend of the Virginia spring turkey season, SRB Field Rests Pro Staff Steve Long planned to hunt over a food plot. He heard a few birds gobbling in the woods. These birds were staying in the hardwoods.

​

Steve decided to set up in the hardwoods and made a few calls. It wasn’t long before he heard birds gobbling and they were making their way to where he was set up. Steve knew there were at least two birds; he was surprised when he saw a third bird following close behind.

Of the three birds, the dominant bird in the lead was strutting as the other two followed behind feeding. Steve only had to make a few calls to let the birds know of his location, and it worked flawlessly. The birds worked there way right in front of Steve.
