Hey folks! We are only a couple months from fall turkey. We are all out cutting, spraying, and seeding fields. Im sure some of you have started scouting like myself...so the question is...

Give you best elevator 10 second advice on fall turkeys...whether it be planting, scouting, hunting, setup...ect.

(Elevator advice as in...if I was to catch you on an elevator at.the national turkey convention and ask you for advice and you only had 10 seconds...or maybe one or two sentences)

Go!

Heres mine...get in the woods early season, find the nesting areas, start paying attention to movement patterns, know their areas and youll be on them come october (TN is oct-nov)

Transition areas!   Fall is a time of extremely plentiful food sources.  My fall success went through the roof when I stopped focusing on acorns or crop fields and started focusing on areas where all things come together.  A select cut, next to oak ridges close to ag is the trifecta!

Good deer advise as well.

Save yourself a lot of work, scout the fields from the road, and try to figure out what they are eating.

Get your gobbler/Jake yelps, clucks and gobbles locked in, also the Key Key run.

Denny Gulvas has an excellent fall turkey DVD.

Buy comfortable walking boots and put the miles down to find a flock.  when you break them, make SURE you get a good break.  Then just sit down and pick out which fish you wanna shoot outta the barrel.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Carry a quality long box: kee-kee runs, young hen yelps, jake yelps, raspy hen yelps, gobbler yelps, purr, cluck, even gobble on it if needed, and all on one call.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot

No need to bust 'em,just call 'em in.

When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

Find a state that has a Fall season.  Nothing here yet but would love to give it a try if our numbers would allow it.

Keep a close watch on where you are seeing birds. When October rolls around, send Uncle Nicky a PM, and he will bring his crackerjack turkey dog out and help you kill one.  ;)

Don't start unless you're ready to be fully committed to walking long distances, being humbled often, cursing a lot, but seeing and hearing some of the very best that the good Lord put here for us to enjoy!


WW

Oh.... and travel to different states to hunt as much as you can. There's nothing like killing birds in new terrain.
