Default Re: Fall Turkey Hunt- any tips?

Thanks for the good wishes but I'll have to save them for next time.

A few tips for you- if at all possible go with an experienced hunter who has been successful at fall turkey. I've spoken with a couple of others about how they managed to get their turkeys and most just drove around looking for them, then would bust the flock and then either pursue them or wait until they rejoined each other. I tried sitting water holes to no effect, and I was unable to find a roost tree, although I surely looked.

Be sure to have camo head to toe; have your gun positioned for a shot even when just waiting. They have excellent color vision.

Good luck to you! If you get one be sure to post about it with tons of pics.

Best,
Gary
