General Forum / Re: Fall season next week

Last post by YoungGobbler - October 21, 2024, 10:47:40 PM

I will be in Ky. Saturday morning the 26th. Talked to the land owner yesterday and he said he is seeing two flocks in the fields every day, so hopeful. I have to check the regs for changes though. I think it's one bearded gobbler and one hen/poult. You can't kill two of either. I usually only hunted gobblers, but now I have to make a choice. I was encouraged this fall in my home turf in Ohio. We saw more young of year fall hunting then we have seen in years. So the dry hot summer was good for poult rearing. Our birds seem pretty stable in most areas, but I see pockets where something happened to birds. My cousin's farm (1,000 acres ) is almost devoid of birds. I pretty much controlled all the harvest on this farm for 40 plus years and the harvest from hunting was very limited. You could count on a general flock of around 75 birds annually on it. I would allow 3-6 birds annually to be taken, fall and spring combined. IN the matter of one year, the flock was decimated. It had to be disease. Harvest restrictions won't guarantee you more birds. I only say this to combat the criticism of fall hunting and it's believed impact.

Good luck to you for this sathurday. Sounds like you have something good in sight.

I think my plan is made for this week-end... I have access to some field where there is a good 15-20 birds flock roaming. The thing is that they moove on a few fields, from fly-down to where they seem to feed around 8 O'clock... So the question I have is pretty much where to sit   

Do I sit close to the roost, to get them on fly down, do I sit where I guess their trail is between the roost and the food, or I wait for them at the food...!

I will use my friday morning to scout with my eyes only to confirm what they truly do on a typical morning and then we'll see...

The joys of turkey hunting...

It's 79 today in south central PA.  I am headed to Ohio tomorrow to bow hunt and suppose to be 79 degrees their as well.  I have decided to delay a trip to KS to archery hunt because it is warm there as well.  My son is fly fishing instead of hunting.  Precision Fly & Tackle.com.
