The noon whistle blows I unload the gun and start my walk out. There's nothing wrong in doing that. Make use of all the time I'm given.

In Illinois, you can hunt until 1:00 p.m. If you can get a tom to respond very late in the morning or around 12 noon, you've got a good chance of taking him since the hens should have left him by that time of day. I often start with hen yelps followed in a few minutes by a gobble or two, giving the impression that an intruder tom has moved into the real gobbler's territory and is trying to court a hen. This can result in the real bird rushing in to defend his peck order.

I don't even want to talk about the amount of birds gobbling at noon I had to leave. Or heard birds tearing the house down gobbling in the afternoon while out fishing or moving deer stands.

Can only legally hunt till 12 noon, but they give you till 1pm to be out of the woods. You may be way back in the woods somewhere, takes time to finally walk out back to your vehicle. After that you may be written up?

Had a big old tom walk right by me on a gas line at 10 yards last year at 12:15 when I was on my way out of the woods here in NY. That was like a slap in the face having to watch him strut by lol very cool though. Once 12 hits I unload and make my way out.

As others have said, hunt right up till quitting time, unload and walk out. I've had game wardens waiting for me when I came out well after noon and never an issue
