Traditionally, fall has been the favored season for hunting wild turkeys among seasoned hunters. Many experts prefer this time of year because it's more challenging and rewarding to call in a turkey during autumn compared to spring.
During late summer, fall, and winter, gobblers become quite solitary and show little interest in females. However, they still make their presence known by gobbling. On certain October and November mornings, you might think it's spring due to the sheer number of gobblers. Occasionally, they strut and gobble as if it were spring, but more often, a fall turkey will silently check your calls, looking for companionship yet indifferent about finding it.
Recently, fall turkey hunting has gained popularity due to the increasing turkey populations. Over 40 states now offer fall turkey seasons, and more hunters are discovering the excitement this season brings. It's a sport that's becoming a favorite among enthusiasts.
During the fall, hunters need separate permits in addition to those for spring. They are allowed to harvest one wild turkey of either sex per day.
Turkeys are often found in open, mixed hardwood and pine forests. Some reside in brush land, preferring to roost in trees taller than surrounding vegetation, often on slopes that provide shelter from strong winds. They use open fields and meadows for feeding and displaying, while wooded areas serve as roosting sites. If there are few roosting sites, turkeys may abandon the area.
Basic Turkey Characteristics
Turkeys have ears positioned on the sides of their heads. Lacking outer ears, they perceive sounds from all directions. Sounds received by one ear assist in determining the direction but not the distance of the sound. Turkeys often turn to stay alert.
Their advanced sense of smell helps them identify the direction of danger using scent and wind. These intelligent birds usually flee from threats, relying heavily on their eyes and ears to assess danger before making a quick getaway.
