Afternoon hunting in Indiana
 

They recently passed a law making it legal to hunt turkey in the afternoon in Indiana. What are some of the advantages of hunting in the afternoon, besides the fact that you get more hunting time?

I was really for this when it first happened in Kentucky several years back, but after seeing the effect I wish it would have never happened. I am glad I moved to Virginia which has half day hunting.

Ryan, what effect did the afternoon hunting have.WI went to afternoon hunting two years ago and I have'nt really noticed anything negative.Just curious.

This is purely my own opinion, but I will give it. I believe that it decrease the gobbling amount of turkeys over the course of the season. To many hunters messing with them in the afternoon instead of leaving them alone. Obviously the extra time in the woods increases the kill, but this has usually been a small amount. So less birds means less gobbling. Then when you add the hunting of them all day over a few years it seems to increase there shut mouth syndrome.
