This year Virginia's turkey season allows for all day hunting 1-13 may. I have been hitting the woods everyday after work. It seems to be a whole different world out there in the evening compared to the morning. Setting up my blind and decoys in the spots I would normally call in the mornings and have heard and seen turkeys just isn't working in the evening. I have switched my tactics to run and gun. I have tryed locator calls over miles and miles with no responce. I have also tryed My entire bag of tricks calling (1 box call,2 different types of slate calls and a plunger type call) with no responce. I know this late in our season alot of birds are henned up. I didn't think hunting them after noon would be this tuff. I'm off tomarrow so I'm going to get after them early. I've got all next week after work, If any of you have any advise for hunting them in the evenings I'm all ears.
 
VA Pred,
Intercept them on the way back to their roosting area. In our area they have ridges they normally roost on so we get them coming from the valleys headin to those ridges.They usually start gobbling 1 to 1 1/2 hrs before last shooting light. If we two man em and one guy get close he can keep the bird gobblin while the other gets around for the ambush. It fast and furious!
