"You know nothing Jon Snow." Game of Thrones.
As I am clueless, I've been wondering about fall turkey hunting. Will you fellas please help me understand how fall turkey hunting should be approached? Do you still hear gobbles in the fall? Does one use more decoys in the fall? Is it best to hunt in the woods or the edge of a field? Anything you can tell me will be more than I now know.

Very few if any gobbles. Which is the main reason fall hunting is not very popular. Birds are generally flocked in 3 diffierent groups. Find a group, scratter them, then attempt to call back one of them. Some folks use dogs to the the scrattering (in some states). You can use a decoy anytime when turkey hunting, it merely gives the approaching turkey something to look at instead of you. The best place to hunt is where the turkeys are. Fall ranges are different than in the Spring.

Thank you timex! This information is great to know. I really appreciate it. The area I hunted this spring had a lot of jakes. I'd sure like to go back there next spring, but it was a special invitation. These guys were very friendly, but man did they know a lot of people. So many things to hunt in the fall, I may just skip it.
These same fellas went to Tennessee this spring and did really well. Have you ever been to Tennessee for turkey?
Thanks again, 1John

Tn, is good hunting but Ky. is much better. Some southern states start earlier, is the main reason a person might want to go further south than Ky.

Yes, Tennessee started a week earlier than us, not sure about Ky. I'd like to give it a try.
Thanks again!

I've hunted turkey in Tennessee. It is fantastic! I hunted upper East TN, several years on my grandpa's farm in Hawkins County. Tons of turkeys! I killed Two nice toms there in 3 years.

I've heard the same from others, but didn't hunt your granpa's farm. Do you know of any public land close by there?
