The most successful strategy for fall turkeys is to find a flock, disburse them then sit down and wait a while, then start calling softly... Ever watch a large group of people being seated at a restaurant? They do the same thing.
Yes, but until the state changes the rules, i won't be pursuing Fall turkeys legally if i used my longrifle. So that's what this thread is about.
The limb swapping I talked about. I couldn't
see it. I gathered all that info from audible "clues". I could hear them all get up off the ground, and hear them all fuss and maneuver for half a dang 'nother hour--prime
deer sneaking into the field time. Oh it was thunderous.
Peeple do many social things like birds.

Also, even if i had a smoothbore sidelock gun, i simply don't care to hunt anything with shot except for regular "wingshooting" of which i do extremely small amounts. IOW i don't use the shotguns I have, having a replica wouldn't change that much. I'm simply a rifle man in rifle territory.

Adding PA to the Fall Turkey Rifle "YES" column. What about NY? Oh yeah ANYTIME one can hunt with well-trained dogs is an absolute treat.
