Finding wild turkeys in the fall can be fairly difficult because as turkey flocks get larger for the winter there are fewer flocks of turkeys to locate. Obviously, if you can’t find turkeys, then you can’t kill turkeys.
So, in this week I talk about finding wild turkeys in the fall by looking for their food sources and water sources as well.
Wild turkeys concentrate primarily on preparing for what can be a long hard winter by eating foods high in protein and fats. These foods can be found in fields and in the woods, and the turkeys know exactly where to locate those food sources.
The key to finding success in the fall turkey woods is for you to know exactly where to locate those food sources as well.
Water can be another great place to locate turkeys in the fall for areas that get little rainfall that time of year. Wild turkeys must have water to survive. When a drought comes along and causes the mud puddles and small ditches and creeks to dry up, the turkeys will start traveling to find water or traveling to find larger water sources that haven’t (or won’t) go dry.
Also, in this week’s episode, I share some turkey hunting news from around the United States. As fall seasons begin in many areas, opportunities to hunt turkeys this fall are extremely plentiful if you are willing to travel to take advantage of them.
I share news on NY, WV, NE, and Ontario, Canada this week.
