Re: State land fall turkeys..tips You can never be to safe, so like Huntinma suggested take a compass. As far as hunting unfamilar land, I would hike back as far as I felt comfortable, and get to the highest point so you can listen for a long ways . Turkeys are quiet vocal when they come off the roost and when they hit the ground and get things squared away. As far as calling, if you are hunting a flock of hens and poults, kee-kee's and a lost call would work the best. Start off soft and if you get no responce start pouring it on( meaning put some emoition in your calling and crank up the volume.) If you are hunting a flock of adult hens , a flock of adult gobblers , or a flock of jakes, remember that each flock has a boss. So if you can challenge the boss or disturb the flocks pecking order you will be in good shape. When calling , match their call but with a little more volume.( with these flocks you will usaully need to set up really close). Oh, box calls are tough to beat. Hope this helps good luck

Re: Finally scored..... Congrats on your hunt. It is pretty exciting when you have multiple birds coming in.

Re: New Ca. guy Bruce, did you think of that one all by yourself ? How original .

Re: next springs contest. What contests do you guys have? What ever it is count me in.

Re: Huge Flock Hopfully you saw them on the land you'll be hunting. I saw a flock simailar up by you neck of the woods. It was off Latrobe Rd. right past Consumes River, kinda gets you fired up for the season.

Re: Didn\'t take long........... Congrats on your hunt. Our season in Ca. starts next weekend

Re: New Ca. guy Heck yea I won't be able to sleep at all Friday night, I'll be just like a kid at xmas. God I love to hunt turkeys. Good luck next weekend.

Re: got my fall turkey Congrats on your hunt , great looking bird. I have taken only one with my bow and know how hard it can be. Congrats again.

Hey Gobbler1 Hope you feel better, and good luck next weekend.

Re: Question Turkeys can use the same area in both the spring and the fall, but won't pattern the same. As long as their food suppy last, they will remain in the area. In the spring, it is all about breeding. In the fall, its all about food. So maybe the area ran out of food(trees stopped dropping acorns) Hope this helps

Hello everyone I am brand new to this forum, but have been turkey hunting for sometime. I also enjoy deer, pig and upland game as well. I hope I can learn new secerts, as well as pass some on. I am sure this I will lots of fun here.
