Fall 2015 Hunt
Just a couple weeks till the Fall 2015 Turkey Hunt opens...how many guys are planing on Hunting it this Fall?
Probably the least hunted season we have the privilege to participate in...only 262 registered kills.
I never miss it, always a good challenge and great time of the year to be sitting in a tree line.

Not sure how much early deer hunting there will be and any type of hunting at the moment involves double the tags. If the wive wants to try for a turkey I guess I can sit with her, not like we will be calling anyway.
I really have no need to hunt turkey this fall, lots of ducks, grouse, geese and deer, I think this is why the numbers are so low, $30 for a tag for less than 2 weeks on a bird that will probably be 10lbs.

I love the fall turkey hunt, have not missed a year since it opened. I been lucky To bag my fall bird every year, great time of the year to be in the woods and another excuse to be in the fall woods. And as for as the price of a tag being high for what you get, how gun you but the expense on the enjoyment and the experience. Love hearing the birds calling back and forth thru the woods in the morning.

Not even any noise this spring, toms around but no gobbling at all this spring, it did not really feel like turkey hunting.
The ducks are starting to get loud though and seeing doves screaming over the house at last night

I was out on the weekend setting up some tree stands for the archery deer hunt and doing a bit of small game hunting at the same time. I saw a flock of turkeys on the property, and there were a whole bunch of turkey chicks in the flock. I was amazed at how tiny these birds were - it must have been a late hatch. I can't imagine how these birds are going to make it through the winter. Anyways, seeing this flock made me think about maybe picking up a tag for the fall hunt. I have only done this once before because the season is so short and it coincides with the archery deer hunt. I feel my time is better spent hunting for deer. That being said, I may give it a try this year. The deer population where I hunt has been down for the last couple of years, and this year doesn't look any better. It would be good to at least get a turkey for the freezer this fall.

Tried the fall hunt last year for the first time. Found it unlike the spring and quite honestly not that interesting. With upland and waterfowl providing more entertainment will opt out of the fall hunt this year. Save my time for the spring when I find it more enjoyable.
Time in the outdoors is never wasted

I always get my tag and have bagged a few with the bow while deer hunting, it is not like the spring season as it is more flock busting and waiting or just a lucky pass by while on a deer sit
