What time of day do most of you have most success?

[scoot12]

I was just wondering if everybody has more success right off the roost or later in morning.  I have shot my birds at eleven o'clock and noon.  Scoot

I've killed my birds all between 9 and noon since I'm more of a sit and wait guy.  If I know where they'll be coming I just get comfortable and wait em out, it's worked for me so far

[WillowRidgeCalls]

I've taken them early and late morning. I don't move much from one set up to another because the places I hunt are small and if you move you'll bust every bird out. One of my best areas is only 12 acres.

Mid morning to mid afternoon. I hunt mostly public land that is hunted hard by a lot of people. I found that if you get on a gobbling bird early chances were that 2 or 3 other hunters where after him also.  On up in the morning I could slip back into the area after everyone had left, usually around 9 or 10 o'clock, do a little soft calling and sometime end up with a good bird. Sometime they would come in gobbling and strutting and sometime they would slip in without a sound. Sometime I ended up hunting a ghost and sometimes he goes home with me.

I've done the most of my turkey whackin' right off the roost. I usually roost 'em  the night before , and get close to 'em in  the dark sometimes an hour before light , and get-er-done early. first 30 minutes after fly-down. then mushroom hunt and fish the rest of the day.....sounds like a great plan.

[TalksToTurkeys]

I kill most of mine early, just after they fly down.

                                             

[chatterbox]

Mine have been killed right off the roost. We can only hunt till noon, so getting it done early is better.

[West Augusta]

Soon after flydown.

[Horner]

My solo Spring bird, was rocked right after fly down.

[Ctomp1974]

Either 1 hr after sunrise or between 10am and noon. I got a double with my father-in-law last year at 5:30 pm.

same here however I have killed a few from 11- 2

[Boparks]

Here in Georgia I've probably killed 20 percent of my birds off the roost......partly because i don't really roost em the night before but mostly because the hens seem to have other plans for the gobbler.

I have killed most birds later in the morning with many between 9:00- 11:00 and a few towards noon.

The later in the morning I get on a gobbling bird the better chance I feel I have

Most years I'll kill a bird in the afternoon as well

In the west with Rios and Merriams ....  I kill many birds out there straight off the roost or within 45 minutes of flydown.......really I kill them at all times of the day
