RE: fall hunt
I' m just waiting for my fall permit here in Washington state. My strategy will be to possibly ambush them as they work their way back to the roost in the early part of the evening and try to harvest a hen. Whether or not it does a disservice to the population depends on the number of hens are out there. I' m always hearing reports of toms being henned-up, so I don' t think harvesting a hen does a disservice at least where I live. I belive there are more than enough hens to adequately support the population. By harvesting a hen, I will actually doing myself and my fellow turkey hunters a service by reducing the number of hens that keep the toms from coming into their calls by one. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.
