Ok.... if you had to choose 3 hours a day to hunt turkeys which 3 hours would you pick?


My answer:  I would pick 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.  For every turkey I've killed off the roost,  I've killed 3 late morning

:TooFunny:  :you_rock: If my wife only allowed me 3 hours to hunt I'd probably divorce her,but in your case I'd also have to pick 9 to noon or 10 to 1. Roosting birds is effective,but the 9 to 1 has been good to me.

Wife or not I'm a roost junkie, I love to hear the woods waking up.  But you gotta live on turkey time when you get on em so...... :anim_25:

9-Noon also.  That's been my bread and butter

10 till 2 has always been a great time frame to kill Turkeys for me.

I hunt the roost also... but more often than not I'm more successful later in the morning.

If I want to kill one , 9 until 12. If I want to hear a lot of gobbling, off the roost

Easterns......I'll  take the first 3 hours of daylight.  I've had more luck off the roost with eastern birds than western birds.  Majority of birds were dead by 9 AM.

Merriam's . ....I'll take 9 to 12

I love heaaring the woods wake up. Dawn to 9 would be my choice.

I'll take the first 3. It's not always the most productive but I live to watch the woods wake up. I like to call the owls and the wind has not usually picked up so bad.
