I'm probably going to head out back home with my one buddy.  They usually hammer them every year so I have a good shot if I do...  It all really depends on if I can drag myself out of bed after a half night of fox hunting Friday night.

 I usually don't go after turkey in the fall on purpose and limit myself. I hunt fall toms with a bow. I will go out still hunting for deer/turkey, shoot one while fox hunting in the day or pop one out of the stand. To many times I would be calling fall turkey and have bucks come with in range and all I have is my 12 ga. I have seen 6 longbeards hanging around in a group. I'll try for them.

I'm heading to New York tomorrow for some archery deer but I never pass on a turkey if it comes into range.
