Off the roost or late morning?

[jordanz7935]

First 3 hours for me. More times than not, roosted=roasted.

I love hunting the first 3 hours, the next hour is nap time then the next 3 hours to kill a bird!

9-12

First two or three hours of daylight for me.  I have found over the years that I have adapted more aggressive hunting tactics and my kill times have moved earlier.

 :wave:If been working one at first light, have killed most mine little before 7:00....if not on the ground by then, most by 10-11:00. But nothing like killing him that first hour or so.

I've had more luck late morning.  But agree that there is nothing like sun coming up on a clear morning and hearing all the birds gobble on roost.

I killed a nice bird yesterday, 23lbs, 11.5" beard and blunt 1 1/8" spurs, that was the 2nd turkey I've ever killed before 9am.  All the rest of mine have been between 9am and 2pm.

I'm with the op, 9-noon

Statistically, my best luck happens within the first three hours.

There is little I like more than watching all God's creatures come alive first thing in the morning and hearing all the different bird calls. It is just one of those things regardless of what I am hunting if I get what I am after or not makes hunting so worth it to me.

That's my method also.

Most of mine come from between 7:30-10:30.  Some before, some after, but most are in that window.

Definitely 9 - noon.  If I get a bird to answer hard twice at that time, 90% of the time he's taking a truck ride.

I feel like many will say they kill birds early simply because chronologically early morning comes before 9-12. I do enjoy the early morning and hearing the world come alive however if I had to kill a bird I would take 9-12 you hear less but he ones you do typically are more likely to respond to a call.

Like others I like to be out there to hear them waking up but as far as killing goes 09:00-12:00
