Anytime can be a good time is indeed true, but optimize your chances but scouting and being aware of habitat. Waste grain fields pull birds early. Later on in the season greening alfalfa fields tend to have birds. Where do the hens like to nest? Good nesting habitat will always hold a few gobblers nearby. As noted previously birds will often enter and exit a field in the same spot. Through scouting I've found that some properties I hunt the birds show up early. One piece of property that is almost all tillable the birds work there way to by mid to late morning. Doing your homework is always beneficial. I love the hardwoods,but fieldhunting out of necessity recent years sure has been fun too!
