Hunting mid-morning
« on: April 17, 2020, 03:06:53 PM »
I have a spot or two that I think I may have better chances of seeing a Tom if I hunt from 9:30 till noon.  Do many of you have success with mid-morning hunts?

Shhhh.  Don't tell anyone. 

If you want gobbling and entertainment, get close to him on the limb and listen to the show.  But I honestly think I kill them 3-1 long after flydown.  Don't get me wrong, killing one straight off the limb is a blast, but 9-11:30 has been my sweet spot.

I’ve killed the vast majority of birds between 9:00 am and 12 noon. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to get out there before dawn.

I hunt slow and steady.  I kill more after 9 than I do before.

Yep. Later on in the morning they’re getting dumped by their hens.

Yes...9:00-12:00 be in the woods, you’re liable to find a lonely gobbler.

Thanks folks.  It'd be cool not to get up at 4:30 AM.  I do love hearing all the gobbling and calling in the early morning though, plus I can hunt and still get to work on time.  All of our birds this year have been killed before 7:00 AM.
