Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Who's trying to fill a FALL turkey tag?

Anyone out there trying to fill a fall turkey tag? Our fall turkey season (firearm) opens in 3 days - I can't wait to get out there and chase 'em! I scouted a new farm this morning, it looks really promising!!!

Got my camo laid out and my shotgun ready... At least I'll get 11 days under my belt to help me through the withdrawal until spring opener. LOL

Most people I know are bow hunting for deer and if a turkey gets close enough, they'll nail it! Curious to see who else is fall hunting...

I'm hunting deer at this time TG but like you said if one comes by I have an arrow just for him or her. On my way out of my hunting spot I see a flock of them on this guys private property and he must not hunt or let anyone else hunt because they are in plain sight on a busy road almost everyday. I have heard them in the woods while in my stands and blinds but not seen them yet,but if I do I'll say hello with southern twang of the bowstring.

Got an 8 inch gobbler this spring & last week I had a chance for #2, but I let him walk. I was hunting deer & hog last week & as soon as the sun broke I saw a turkey on the ground about 50 yards away. I was still hunting anyway, so I slowly inched my way towards that turkey. Slipping between the palmettos I finally got to within about 40 feet of a small flock of birds. They were all hens except for 1 jake with about a 3 inch beard. Yes, he was legal, and I could have bragged about limiting out on turkeys this year, but to me the thrill was stalking to within 40 feet of him. I think standing there listening to them call softly back & forth will help me be a better caller next spring, and by then that beard should have grown a little. I seem to be getting pickier as the years go by - hope I'm not getting soft, LOL.
