What's the latest you've called one?

I never had much luck calling them in , in the evenings ..The best thing to do in the evening is hang out where they roost or somewhere in front of them and wait for them to return ..I usually spend time in the late afternoon scouting ...Birds are usually in the fields late in the evening and that's the main ingredient  for success in the morning ..watch where they go in the timber to roost and be set up where they were coming from to go to roost ..always like to be about 75 - 100 away from the roost in the morning ..soft tree calls and purrs and hopefully they hit the ground and are on their way ..as far as when they jump into roost , I have seen them jump up really late ..almost so dark I could barely see ..

Have taken thunderchickens all times of the day .... agree with BH about late evening though ... a little harder to call them, but soft calls near their path can divert them into your lap ....

Evening hunts, if you can find an area known for nesting of hens, as they are hanging in those areas more and more. The toms know this and will typically troll those areas, waiting for the few hens that may fly back to a roost and are not yet setting their clutch.. I've called them right up to fly up at dusk. good spot for afternoon and evening hunts. My latest kill I think was about 18:30.

The last 2 days 2pm-3pm has been " sound of time" for the gobblers and jakes. Ive had good luck strting soft, then getting agressive for 5 min, back to soft. The birds will come. Remember "patience kills turkeys!" Best times to hunt right now as follows. Sunrise to 8am, 10am-12noon, 2pm-4pm. Other times between hydrate, eat, nap! Good luck!

Nice sounds like we're through the major henned up time. Now should start seeing a few more lonely Toms. I saw three hens by themselves right after fly down. Must be a group nesting near each other. No Tom around them. May is going to be good.

Birds were quiet this weekend but I was able to get my brother on 2 birds.  His first attempt at archery turkey this year.  Less pressure on them now and they seem to be using there normal roosts again.  Thanks guys for all the tips
