Most of my kills have come one to two hours after daylight. Latest morning bird
was 9:45. I did kill one at 3:30 in the afternoon once. Never gobbled but he ran right in and attacked my jake decoy.

My best luck has came within 2 hours of fly down, I have taken a couple of gobblers later in the afternoon though. It just depends on what breeding phase they are in.

I' ve only taken 3 or 4 turkeys straight off the roost. my best luck has been between 9:00-12:00

I think your right Bennie, these south ar turkeys are all alike.

I have the most action within the first couple of hours of daylight. However, I have had more successful harvests after 10:00 a.m.

earlier the better for me

I probably have had more success between 9 and 10 as far as harvest goes. Usually after the hens leave the gobbler they seem to be more willing to come in without as much reservation.

I have taken most of my turkeys between 9am and 12 noon. I only took a few off of the roost also...

PAhunter86:
Are you sure about that PA law about hunting turkey after noon? I justed looked at the PA game commission website and couldn' t find it. They don' t say anything about a noon cut off. Here is what it says: " SPRING GOBBLER (Bearded bird only): April 26, 2003 - May 24, 2003. (1 bird limit)"
