illinois turkey, last season questions
i've done it again this year screwed around and didnt put in early for turkey permits and i've ended up with the very last seson (may 6-13 north zone)
my question is does anyone have any advice for the latter season or is it pretty much the same as the april seasons?
i just started turkey huntin 2 years ago and havent had much luck. first season i went it rained all day both days out and last year i had a nice tom coming off the roost before a couple does came upon me and spooked him off.
any opinoions or advice is appreciated.

RE: illinois turkey, last season questions
i agree with LLBUX, stay out in the noon hour because you can still call the toms after they're done with they're morning breeding i've found, also hunt in the rain. the last two years i have gotten my tom on a very rainy morning. if you are hunting late in the season i would do my best to try to sneak up on the roost and call them off that because they will be extremely call shy. good luck!
