Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default got one on opening weekend in ga

This turkey had a 9 and 1/2 in beard and inch and a 1/4 spurs on him. This is my second year turkey hunting and i still havent figured out the whole moring thing so i always kill them in the afternoon by setting up and calling softly w/ decoys. This is the 3rd bird that has been killed off of the same setup. Last year i killed a jake (my first turkey) and i called in one with an 11 and 1/2 in. beard on him that i let my dad shoot which were all shot in the same location around 10-11 in the mornin.

Nice bird!! Congrats! It doesn't matter what time you kill them, as long as you've figured out "your" way of hunting them.

I have heard that the best time TOhunt Turkeys is around 11:00 and the most birds are killed in that time frame. I do best about 10:00 to 11:00

Ditto on the 10:00-11:00 time frame. I here alot more birds in the early morning but if you get a tom to gobble late morning chances are he's looking for love and gonna respond alot better and not hang up on you.
