Field hunters

Hunting in the evening what's the lastest you've had turkey come out to the field

[guesswho]

Seen them go from field to roost many times.   As far as actually entering a field, I'd say about an hour before fly-up.

Decided to give it go tonight. And we weren't set up 5 minutes and this bird is hammering. He is with his hens cause they are sparked up from my light calling. I shut up for about an hour now. Hoping they make there way out for dinner before they head to roost about 100 yards away

[guesswho]

If nothing else, you have a good starting point for tomorrow if you can hunt!

Can't hunt till the weekend but it's private property and I know where their coming out every morn. He still at it smh. Got a lot of LBs under my belt never dealt with a bird that gobbles so much especially with hens

The latest I've ever had a bird respond and come in to calling was around 6:00 EST. Just about every bird I've ever taken in the afternoon was right around 4:00 give or take an hour with one exception.

If the hens are responding to your calls, I'd imitate her calling and see if you can't get her pissed and/or curious and come in to investigate.

I like hearing that you seen them that late. Thanks fellas. And yes I was messing with her then she stopped

I've sen them strutting in fields right up to right before heading up to roost. I hunt alot of fields and have killed them from beginning of legal shooting hours to end. Put the time in and pay attention to whats going on out there and you'll get one killed.

Had one in the field at about 8/8:15 tonight....he's in bed now and I know where I'll be in the morning and it won't be at work!

[GOOSESLAYER]

JK....hope you get him

The birds never came out last night, stayed 40 to 80 yards behind us gobbling back and forth. Sundays the last day so we will give'r hell. Cant convince the fiancé to take off work to try them before then unfortunately

How far off the field are you setting up?  I've found it works better to be close to max shooting range from the field edge. If your are right at the edge, then the birds don't have a reason to come look for you. If you are in the woods a bit, I think your odds go up since curiosity will being them looking.

im right in the middle of the cut in the field, they come out each corner of the cut. Where we are set you can shoot both corners. 40 yards to each corner

Evening field birds that gobble a lot always give me fits.  They tend to stay out in the middle of the field and hammer rather than come to calls.  At least, that's what they usually do to me.
