What part of the Season is productive for you ?
 

What time of the season does everyone find that the hunting seems just a little better to you ? I like the Mid. to the end of the season in Ontario , seems the hunting presure is a lot less and the Longbeards are on the move looking for that lonely reseptive hen , that I like to be <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. Whats your opinion on this topic ?...BT

BT, I agree with you 100%!!! Those hot 2 year olds seem to be the biggest part of the opener. But like you have already mentioned, the Mid - end of the season works very well for me as well. That's when the older boys want to play!! The woods aren't as crowded is another good point!! I have taken quite a few toms during the last three days of the season here in New York.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'd have to say mid-season for me.Hens are starting to go to nest and them gobblers are stating to get a little loneler come mid morning.

i gota agree....we hunt usually the first day or 2...then take the 3rd week off work/skool...the birds seem to be alot hotter and you have no worrys about other hunters coz by then the are given up or killed one...

I also have to agree on Midseason. It really helps when the hens start to nest. Also less competition from others hunters.

I have to say mid to late season is the most productive for me,but the early season can be great also.The thing that I like about the early season is you still have two or more gobblers traveling together.

Im also in agreement with you BT.Ive had my best birds,and best success in the middle to the end of the season,after the hen's have begun nesting.Toned down calling and patience with a capital P seems to work for me.

RE: What part of the Season is productive for you ?
 

Some years I had better luck early on, and others, later in the season. So I guess I would have to say all season.

I don't know that I notice a big difference in success at any time. I will say I tend to kill henned up birds a lot when they aren't gobbling. It fits my style of patience really well.

naturaley the first of the season when no one has messed with the birds is better.
I have talen birds on the first day and the last day of the season.
I took a bird on the last day of the season a few years ago that gobbles over 100 times.

Hi BOSS, the best part here would be end of the 2nd week. Seems like they go into a lul after the first day with all the people in the woods callin. This gives them time to calm back down and be more receptive to callin. <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

when ever the wife lets me go play is my best time, anytime in the woods is always good.

GC and Brokenbucket are right on the money here for me.I spend alot of time scouting birds and opening weekend no matter what the conditions proves to be successful.When opening weekend hits i know where the birds are gonna be no matter if they talk alot or our hush mouthed.This gives you an edge on not only the turkeys but also on those opening weekend blundering hunters who treat turkey hunting as if they were on a deer drive!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
