[Siwash]

A majority of you state mid-morning and many around noon.. can someone tell me why so many set up at ungodly hours (well before sunrise) if you're getting a good chunk of your birds well after sunrise??

Thanks..

Because you cant kill them if you arent out there and plenty of birds get killed at any given time of day.

Also, they are more vocal early in the mornings right off the roost so it's easier to locate them and then hang with them in that area so that, later in the day, if you arent able to kill them right after they fly down you are within their area already and (hopefully you have a good idea of exactly where they are) can engage them once their hens leave or their mood changes.

I've killed more birds from 2 pm - 7 pm.

My favorite time is when that first gobble sounds at the crack of dawn, because I'm so excited to just be out there.  I've had the most luck 1 - 3 hours after daylight though.  If I had more sense I would hunt less aggressively that first hour during flydown.

Me too! Almost all of my birds have been late afternoon and evening.

(Est.) 45% Flydown to 8:00 a.m. with (50% of the 45% being within 15 min. after they fly down.
50% 8:00a.m. to 11:00a.m. and
5% from 11:00a.m. to 12 or 1:00 p.m.
This is hunting WV and VA.  the 2 states I hunt the most.
Other states I have no idea.

[tomanyturkeycalls]

I love getting out there very early.. last year I was done at 5:45 am the previous year  6:15 am..... them are my earliest birds... can't hunt in Illinois after 1 pm .. and I need all the time i can get..

Ive seen 5 shot this season before 640am.

Aggressive, close proximity roost setups are lethal if you know how to implement them.

I shot one at 745am this week. That's the latest I've seen one die this year.

Great thread.

I've killed must of my birds between 8 and 11.
