Try to always either in a blind or on the ground always have something that will be larger than your sillouette behind you. Try to make sure that it is shady at the time you expect birds in the area and last but not least try to pick an area that is a lil higher ground as the other areas this will make help you see and make it easier to see birds coming in. Always remember it will be harder for a Gobbler to pick you out in the shadows. Well I hope this helps it has always helped me in the past!

I use a "tight" set-up with enough trees out front to make the gobbler have to hunt the hen(s) he heard and don't use decoys that can/will cause hang-ups. The swamps and floodplains of SC aren't open as are the oak ridges and decoys are a waste of time. When the gobbler comes into view, he's either within range or is just about to enter the Dead Bird Zone.
The WaterOaks are very large and some have concave areas that enable you to sit back into the tree. A few branches out front and you're very well hidden....

I always try to set against a tree wider than my shoulders and try to make it so that once i can see the gobbler and he can see me, he's in shootin range. This gives him less time to use his awesome eyesight.
