Dave is correct. Hunt as long as your state says you can. Most of my birds go down 10-12 am, but in Iowa we can hunt all day and I do. Once they are done with the available Hens breeding off roost, the Toms start wandering around, and are accessible to calling. My first kill years ago was one of 5 Jakes heading to roost past 4 pm. I try to set up that late inbetween where I think they are and where roost is when it gets later in the day.
