I got one this spring too!

Trying to kill gobblers in the fall is alot more difficult. Thats for me anyway. My girlfriend's dad is really good getting longbeards in the fall.

What is your tricks for fall hunting? I'm not real sure how I'm going to do it but do know where they will be in the fall.

I've been chasing these two turkeys all season (after I dropped their buddy my second day out) and even though I FINALLY thought I had their patterns pegged, my next time out they went and changed up on me, including where they roost. Tomorrow's my last shot at them, I just called the landowner to ask her what the heck they've been doing the last couple of days. She had an Idea where they might be roosting, but its raining now (and prolly will be tomorrow too) but at least I have somewhere to start. Well, there will probably be a couple of wise old Toms on that property next year if my 'lucky' streak continues...

Well, I was just saying that gobblers are harder to call in during the fall. Usually in the fall, I call in hens by yelping 5-7 times. Kinda like what you do in the spring. My experiences with gobblers is a tad different. The less you call the better your chances for getting one of them in. Maybe cluck a couple times and shut up for a while. Like I said, I am still trying to better myself with this.

Maybe some other guys can chime in and tell you how they pursue gobblers in the fall.

Well, the landowner was right on. Showed up today before first light, hit the owl call, and a bird lit up, unfortunately on the wrong side of the road. I was fairly certain thats the way they want to travel, and he started out on the wrong property, but close, just about right on the road. A few yards down, another one lit up, on the right side of the road. I set up, and the one across was close... The one on my side must have pitched down on the other side of the road, I heard them gobbling deep into never never land. So ends another CT season, me 1, birds 2 (thats 2 toms that made a fool of me). There will be some big birds on that property next year hopefully. One more shot in RI on monday, then thats it for my season.
