Yeah. I did a bunch of it in both NY state with shotgun and New Hampshire with my bow.
When I lived in NH it was open season during the bow season for deer. There were more turkeys then deer on our land.
Wed shoot em when we could if they passed a stand. My one friend shot a couple behind my house. Wed all bring a mouth call to the stand or ground blind.
In New York in some areas they use turkey dogs which are great. One of my guides had one named " Kee Kee". She was a beast.
You call them in with a "Kee Kee Run" ( hence her name)
Shed run in and bust the flock. Shed track em like a deer dog on a deer. Then hed have her lay next to him in a camo wrap and we would call after 20 minutes or half an hour.
You bust a flock of gobblers and theyd come in gobbling to the Kee Kee ,and "Jake yelping" a few times.
We busted a flock of 5 gobblers one time and clients killed 2, both gobbling. One within 15 minutes of the other.
They always come back to the site of the bust up.
It was fun but a lot of young hens get killed over all Ive found. There were some boys in Candor NY that were bad arse at outfitting for fall birds with dogs busting the flocks. I forgot their outfit, but they were known for it.
A few Quaker Boy guys went with them a few time. Old Ernie Canderelli if you remember him. He was Dicks Kirbys of Quaker Boys marketing guy back in the day and did "Gobbling Fever" with Ole Dick and Chris Kirby, Mark Scroggins and them.
Talk about a turkey hunting legend. Old Dick Kirby was that for sure. Looking at his autographed box call to me with his strutting gobbler drawing he liked to do ,right now in my office.
What a good dang guy. Im sure you knew him Clem.
But I digress.
We didnt do Fall hunts on my lands as I liked hunting them in Spring and people were paying to come do it so I saved em for Spring Clients when they were roaring.
However, I went with my one guide and helped a bunch on his lands. He hunted Pa too as he lived and owned farm land on the border south of Binghampton NY.
Its fun and allows turkey hunting. And the hens are vocal. The young uns all run in to the Kee Kee or their moms come in looking for each other. Bust a flock and you kill one or two for sure when we went.
Hope that helps.
