I fall hunt each year, but it shares time with grouse, deer hunting and trout fishing.

Unfortunately neither state I have licenses for offer fall seasons. Dove to deer to squirrel to grouse before we get back to turkey for me.

Come fall my primary love is bow hunting for a decent buck...and deer in general...time to fill the freezer! I generally fall turkey hunt for no more than a couple days. Luckily, I have a good spot...my primary spring spot...where I've always found fall birds. Now, I spring hunt for toms...good spurs and beards... but fall hunt for table quality. There's no comparison, table-wise,  between an adult gobbler, or hen, in the fall as opposed to a bird of the year. Those 5 or 6 month olds melt in your mouth!!

Will have to travel, but look forward to it. It's a totally different vibe. Lots of vocalizations. I was fortunate to kill 2 long beards last Fall. I hope to do the same this Fall, but am not averse to killing a jake if it comes to that. They eat very well and many of them still don't survive until Spring. It's a great time to be in the woods.

 The more years I Turkey hunt, the more I enjoy fall.  It’s a grind around me.   Don’t use dogs or anything.  Just old school scouting, finding roosts, figuring out a pattern.  So much fun.   Cover a boatload of habitat devoid of fall birds, but when you find them, it’s usually all of them.  Great challenge

Yea Falls a good time, it is fun to be there in a different time of the year looking for birds. I went out today to set out some trail cameras today for deer and bumped a hen. I then saw a hen with about 7 poults.

It’s a major challenge I think. Like it was said, finding them is the hardest part.

Happy to see there’s some guys that give fall hunting a go. It’s not spring, but it quenches my thirst a little.

I enjoy the fall season as much as the spring. Where else can you go and hear all the turkey talk from daylight to dark? From gobbles to kee-kees, and gobbler clucks to hens cutts.

Fall is when a well tuned long box really shines, you can mimic the sounds of an entire flock of birds in all age groups.

I love fall Turkey, I target adult gobblers in fall ,it's the most challenging hunting one can do in my opinion,  but that's why I love it. And i love hearing gobbler talk in the fall, bring on October!

It’s the best hearing them gobble in the fall!

I went out deer scouting a few days ago, ran into a lone hen, then I ran into a hen with a group of about 7 poults! Got a little video too!

Look forward to it every fall!  The gregariousness of fall turkeys would surprise some...and nothing like a gobbler flock to get the blood going!
