When turkey hunting, do you have to be out there before day break?
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a bowel movement by the clean end

It depends. Some times if you have a bird roosted its best if you get set up before light so you have a better chance of nailing him before he joins the hens. If your like me who has chores to do or you like your sleep nope casue the hens usally head off to their nests getting around 10-11 so the toms start to get lonely and will come into your setup. They will come in any time of the day just soemtimes its a little harder. I think the daylight thing has something to do with the shorter hunting time we had but now that has changed.
There is no such thing as bad venison, its just some is better then others.

The last few years I haven't been out much before 8am because of having to drop my daughter off at daycare most of the time when I was headed out togo hunting. Just depend on the area that you are hunting. If the birds are only roosting where you hunt you might be in trouble. Just try to keep and eye on them before the season from a disance so you know what they are doing in the later morning. Their day to day routine don't change much till they have been spooked or bumped.

We watch for where the toms are roosting and be there before day break. Later on in the season, we pay attention to where they will feed and hang out for the day. Get set up before they get there. Once they are on to us their routes may change.Can hunt till 7:00 pm now and we set up where we think they are going to roost. We find later in the season they don"t respond to calling or decoys as much as they did in the beginning, we ambush them. Have been successful morning, night, and evening. However, it does get more difficult later in the season. Early season is the best. Been seeing three toms in the field across the road they are feeding, it's around 5:00pm we think they are in their spring mode, have also been seeing geese fly over some are pairing up. Good Luck in your 2008 turkey hunt I can't wait. :shoot:
