well, spring is gone and summer is here. Is everyone ready for fall? In the two zones i turkey hunt in, I know there are alot of jakes to harvest, as well as several gobblers. How many plan on hunting the fall? Spring is a little more heart racing i think, but in the fall, its fun to spot and stalk bachelor groups of toms. Good luck
I turkey hunt in the fall and have for 14years. Started lookin 2 fall the minute spring was over for me. Our archery season comes in here in Ky Sept. the 6th.Both deer and turkey. Im ready!!!!!

RE: Looking to the fall
I' m taking a week of vacation to hunt the 2nd week of Missouri' s fall season this year. Don' t normally do that but I' m looking forward to it this year. I' ve mainly been a spring turkey hunter but am going to broaden my horizons come October!
Slayer,been fall huntin turks for years!Dont guide in the fall so I get to hunt with my boys a whole lot, which adds so much to the overall enjoyment of the hunt!One of the biggest aspects of the fall season is pressure on the birds is very small when compared to spring!Lot of folks are huntin other game which is fine by me,cause I' ll be chasin turks!!Heres a pic of last years birds with my oldest boy!!

Here in Washington State its a permit hunt. So God-willing if I get drawn I will be out there this fall probably trying to harvest a hen (to reduce the number of hens by one " henning-up" the toms in the Spring even as bad as I want a tom!) I suggest you guys consider doing the same. Too many damn hens.
If I can find a tom...or a bachelor group--I' ll go after them. There' s so much going on in the fall---it' s hard to choose. The chinook salmon will be running....big brown trout will be feeding heavily--so, I' l be after them as well!
Whatever you guys and girls decide to do ---have a great and safe season!
Looking to the fall
