Turkeys often have distinct spring/summer and fall winter ranges. In the fall/winter they need protection form cold winds and snow, so they often go lower in elevation and look for wooded areas. Turkeys may move from 1/4 to 10+ miles on these home range changes. Usually there isn't much you can do to keep them from moving, but feedng may help, if there is enough protection from the elements for wintering.

Food is important any time of the year, look for ripening grsses, grains, berries, acorns or other mast crops in the fall.

You have to scout for turkeys both spring and fall. Glass in the morning or evening to find the birds, scout to locate feeding and roosting areas, and choose hunting sites accordingly. Look at my posts and replies on fall turkey tactics, fall calling etc. E-mail me direct if you need more information.

Hope that helps.

Commit a random act of kindness, and blame it on God.
