    Fall you can still setup and call them in. What I do in the fall scout and scout know where they want to go food,roost. I would setup and catch them going from or too one of those locations.

    Those acorns will be huge feed for them right now and they are crusing the oaks right now where i’m hunting.They almost stay in the oak flat all day feeding and walking around if nothing spooks them out.

    The turkeys on my property are very regular in their feeding habits in the fall. They work the food plots from the same direction and roughly at the same times every day.

    First, I think you have to scout enough to know the general areas where they are feeding. I’d also deploy all the trail cams you can lay your hands on to try to time them and to figure out travel direction.

    Personally, I’d be looking at either setting up an ambush along the edge of a field or plot they are using. Otherwise, figure out how they are getting in and out of a feeding area. Turkeys on my land LOVE to just walk down field roads to get where they are going.

    For example, I have a road that goes between 2 of my food plots. The turkeys currently are working both plots hard, so eventually, no matter which plot they are in, they will be coming down that road to get from point A to point B.

    Final idea would be to glass fields and feeding areas to find birds and determine rough direction of travel. Then circle way around and set up ahead of them. Sooner or later this will work and they’ll walk right into you.
