Best thing to do in the fall is bust up a flock and they come back into the call like a bunch of lost puppies.

use the old Kee-Kee run call ("I'm Lost, where are you?")

And you'll start calling in birds sometimes as early as 5 mins. I've busted up flocks in the morning and went back in the afternoon with a couple buddies and called birds in for all of us.

I normally don't "hunt" for birds in the fall. I'm already in the woods archery hunting and I normally have a flock fly up around me during season. I just switch modes and go out the next morning with the shotgun and get them when they fly down. I've killed a fall bird ever since I've started hunted using this tactic. Just happen to be in the right place at the right time while hunting deer, only to go in the next morning to get my bird.

One nice thing about overlapping seasons, other than the fact that I have to wear orange while archery hunting. That's right, you HAVE to wear 250 sq in of orange while fall turkey hunting in PA. Probably b/c in some places you can use rifles instead of shotgun. They should eliminate that in my opinion. Ever try to call a bird in wearing 250 sq inches of orange?? PA game commision has t heir heads up their butt sometimes. Forces you to result in different tactics like bushwhacking them. Definitly not my choice of way to hunt birds, but to abide by the law almost forces you to hunt unconventionally.
