Hunting Tips | Fall Target Zones

What makes a good quick-strike area:

Wooded areas surrounded by large fields, pastures or clear cuts. Birds will use these islands of cover to roost, feed and lounge during the day.

Pockets of mast-producing trees amidst pine plantations, particularly along streamside management zones, where timber crews usually leave a barrier of hardwoods standing along waterways.

Open woods surrounded by overgrown cutovers or young forests. Turkeys will avoid the thick woods, which provide cover for predators.

Areas that naturally funnel wildlife traffic such as old windrows, viney undergrowth or wide creeks bordered by open areas for birds to scratch in search of mast and insects.
