For Sure. I have most of my luck later in the mornings. I places there are lots of hens it’s tough at times to pull them away. 10am or so the ladies head to the nest and the Tom’s start spending time alone strutting and such in fields. Sneak in on them and throw a couple soft calls to get his attention. Many times they will break strut and head your way looking for the lady he heard.

Is it worth going out late morning like 7 sometimes that’s the only time I can get out

If you heard them at 100 yds and you were in the cover of a blind you couldn't be in a better place. Go light on the calling and use different calls because once they tag you as a fake you're outta luck. At first light or even later if you hear them sounding off at a great distance then yes close the gap between you and them and find a good tree to sit by (running and gunning it's called). Good camo and face covering and no movement is a must when they're moving in to your calling. Remember they see way better than we do and can pick you out way before you even know their there

Congratulations, way to go! Al

Awesome. Congrats.

I was in at 5:12. First gobble 5:35 The bird I shot flew down at 5:50. After I shot it I went to get decoys. Two toms flew from the roost down the hill but one stayed. Walking out with bird he was still on roost about 50 Yards from me. The shotgun blast did not spook those birds.

I’m new to the turkey hunting i set my blind up on the edge of the woods ,, heard a couple gobblers about 100 yards away Yelped a few times .. they went quiet I stayed until noon Do most sit on the ground ? Use decoys ? Thx

On a clear day, I like to be out at 4:30. Some mornings, I've had birds bumping the ground by 4:45. least bit of light showing in the east.

Went to my favorite spot. Was in at 5:12 first gobble from roost 5:35. There were actually 4 Toms roosted around me. First one flew down and started to walk towards me. At 30 yards I let him have it! Man was I excited. Had to put a stick across his neck and he was done. Going to have him mounted. Ended up being 17 lbs 8.5 inch beard and 1 inch spurs. Real beautiful bird.

Good luck gang. Hope one of us connects! No wind 45 degrees!

I try to be where I plan on setting up before daylight. Al
