I'm from Alabama where the "run-n-gun" is alive and well.

We scout for turkeys and hopefully find a roost tree. Then we try to ambush them.

If that doesn't work we get out there before the sunrise and up on a ridge. As the sun rises we listen for gobblers and locate with a barred owl call. If you find a gobbler that wants to play the game you get as close as you can on him and then about 1 tree closer. Sit against a tree broader than your shoulders and call. When he shuts up better have your gun up. He's coming in.

It's a good bit more complicated than that but that's the gist of it...
