Fall Turkey Season

What he said.

It's more akin to deer hunting than spring turkey hunting. A lot of just waiting and trying to intercept them on feeding routes. Hen calling can work especially if you can disperse the flock as they'll use calling to gather back up eventually.

I heard some this past Friday while squirrel hunting, hens anyway. Gobblers weren't making a peep.

The hunting is different in the fall. More similar to deer hunting, as a few posters have mentioned. You can still call birds up in the fall, but you won't be calling a gobbling toms, you'll be calling at large winter flocks.

I've always wanted to hunt fall birds with a dog as some of the old timers do in the north woods. The dog scatters the flock, then you yelp them up as they try to reform the large winter flock.
