Title: Is it a waste of time?
Post by: autoxr84 on April 13, 2011, 11:38:51 AM
Well here is the dilemma...  I can only hunt weekends and I work every Sat until 1pm.  I would not be able to hit the woods til about 2:30.  I have plans this Sunday but it is opening weekend in KY for turkey.  This being the first time I have ever gone, I am really excited to go.  But would it be a waste of time to get into the woods that late on Saturday?  I know it is best to be in before daylight and all but help me out guys and gals!!!   ;D

Go when you can because you sure wont kill a turkey if you're not in the woods. Turkeys can be killed all day long!

It's never a waste of time to be in the woods. You can always learn something, see something.  Get out there and enjoy.  Some of the best hunts I ever had were one's where not a shot was fired.

There's no such thing as a bad time to be in the Woods.   Afternoons can be excellent .   The last 5 birds I've shot have all been in the afternoon.

Never a waste of time brother, afternoons are good times cause usually they have dropped their early morning hens and are out looking for some more, you got a better chance of killing one out there in the woods than inside wishing ya would have gone....good luck to ya man

Definitely not a waste of time.  My buddy and I doubled around 7 pm or so when 3 Toms were headed to the roost.  We've hit in windy weather, snow, rain, thunder.  Plus, there weren't any people to share the woods with.
