My husband took a guy yesterday and sat up on a corn field. There were 4 lond beards out feeding until a stupid fox ran them off. They have had alot of luck in the evening more so this year than in the past. The are not calling much in the evening the birds are not gobbling near like they were a week ago. They head out around 530 in the evening and sit up on some fields where the birds are used to going. It is starting to come to a stop soon with just a few days left. so now it is stalk and hunt.

Gobblers are very killable in the afternoon.
I think probably more so than in the morning.
They are looking for some last minute loving before fly up.
Good luck

While hunting this year I have been closer and seen more birds in the evening compared to the morning hunts.

I have killed 7 mature longbeards, 2 in the evening and 5 in morning. I think they are real easy to put the big sneak on in the evenings if you can find them feeding or strutting in a field.

Call sparingly in the evening, just enough to let them know you are there. A few fighting purrs brought mine in at 6:30pm this year on opening day. He had a buddy with him too that would have really pounded him after the shot but I scared him away. In the evenings, I get in close to where they fly up and do a little hen fighting and purring, throwing in some irritated yelps at the same time. Not much more than every 15 min though. They will come in silent often in the evening or they will gobble there heads off.
