Tom Turpin's book, Hunting The Wild Turkey, gives some good advice on fall hunting. Turkeys like to be in a flock, so when you bust them, it's only natural that they want to re-group. When you bust them, just make sure they go in every direction. If they all go in one direction, then you've just drove them farther away from you and they'll re-group there instead of where you busted them. Most of the old timers, such as Turpin, Davis and Johenning, had rather fall hunt than spring hunt.
