Default RE: Only hunting till noon?

That's right. The hens are usually out on their nests in the afternoon, laying eggs. They return to roost near the toms again in the evening. The idea is to reduce disturbing the hens. WI started out that way, but apparently the nest disturbance wasn't really an issue. Because now we can hunt til sundown and we still have plenty of turkeys.
