All legal hours. Here in Virginia first 3 weeks it is open til noon and last 2 weeks are all day. I work during the day so I don't get to hunt much for the first 3 weeks.

Stay in the woods till about 2. I have shot some of my best birds between 1 & 2.

If the birds are hot on the limb but clam up with a hen or 2, I'm headed for breakfast by 7:45-8am.  If hens are sitting on the nest or getting close to, I'm back suited up and ready to cover some ground by 9-9:30.  And I'm going non stop til I strike up a contender until 1ish.  If I can hunt all day, it's back at em about 2:30 til fly up.  We've killed a lot of birds between 9-1.  But we've also killed a good number of gobbling afternoon birds.  Best time to turkey hunt is whenever you can go!

If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

NH's season closes at noon, so I'm in the woods till noon, or until I get my bird, whichever comes first.

I drive 1.5 hours to hunt. I try to hunt till 2 or 3 most times.

As long as it takes! Sometimes work or family obligations cuts me short but as long as I know there's a gobbler stomping on the same ground I'm on then I'll be in pursuit. I've walked in while dark and walked out while dark but that's a rarity.

For me the fun of turkey hunting is running?and gunning so I usually am at it all day or until I have to be somewhere else.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
