I love turkey hunting. Yesterday the DNR sent me a fall turkey permit. That only happens about every 3 years here in Wisconsin. Do you turkey hunters in other states have fall seasons too? I've been seeing a lot of turkeys this summer.

Sprig forgot to add...gobblers only in Bama.Most hunters here wait till the Spring season for the challenge of calling the birds.But durning deer season (gun) you can take them just the same.I have seen 20 or 25 birds this deer season already and have let them all walk. Rick

Sounds like my buddy yesterday, he said he didn't see any deer he could shoot but saw flocks of turkeys. He was joking about shooting one of those, filetting it and smuggling the filets out in his boots.

We only have 6 counties in Alabama where there is a fall turkey season. I don't hunt in any of them. It would be nice to get one sometimes in the fall. Like ihuntbucks said, they run you over in deer season but they have left the country during turkey season.

Sometimes it seems like they know what time of year it is but in reality, the places they chose to gather may change over the course of a few days. We had a dry spell a couple of years back and the turkeys moved into a valley where we hunt because there was a creek there that still had water. All the little water sources on the sides of the mountains had dried up. Now we've got too mch water and you can't find turkey sign in that place at all.

freddogs: In New York we have two seasons, Spring and Fall. In the Spring (May), it used to be that you could take one of either gender, with hen in the first half of the month, I think, then Toms. In the fall, Turkey season is the full month prior to big game which begins (in southern zones/shotgun-pistol only) usually the Monday before Thanksgiving, you get the Toms only (I think).

New York has really gotten its turkey population back. They were re-introduced a number of years ago, about 15 I think, and have just gone wild. They take lots of loss with the coyotes and wet Springs, but you see whole bunches of them and often now you will see them on the inner city by-ways and in the wooded areas within the cities.

They theive from my birdfeeders and run off the other birds. When I've had a belly-full of that nonsense, I have a belly-full of wild turkey, chased by a couple of shots of the same. Mikey.
