As summer days become shorter and the air begins to cool, many outdoors people’s\u00a0minds turn to hunting. One of the first seasons to come into play is the fall turkey season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fall turkey hunting is different from the spring season primarily because the birds are not participating in mating behaviors. They travel in big flocks and are extremely hard to call. Mating behaviors such as gobbling don\u2019t occur, and likewise, the male birds don\u2019t react to single hens or try to separate them from the flock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the Fall, hunters primarily set up in or on the edge of food sources like cut corn or bean fields. Turkeys are predictable as they feed on these grains and beans. The birds will eventually visit the fields to feed and hopefully travel within range of the blind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turkey hunting is very rewarding, but it can also be quite a challenge. Turkeys are clever birds that are very skittish around humans. Unlike deer, they lack a sense of smell. However, they have excellent eyesight. Even the slightest movement can send off alarms and end your hunt in that area for the day. Because of this, the further away you can be when you take a shot, the better. Of course, taking a turkey with a long shot is not an easy task. To increase your chances of making an accurate shot, you’ll want to add a turkey scope or a red dot sight to your bow or shotgun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
