We asked turkey hunters to carry GPS units with them while they were hunting, so we could better understand how hunters behave. We found that on average, hunters spent a little more than 3 hours on each hunt, but most of the effort was spent during the first 2 weeks of the season. We also found that ~40% of all hunter locations were <25 yards from a road. The bottom line is, most hunters spent time afield early in the season, and roads were the primary driver of access as most time was spent fairly close to roads – us turkey hunters need to make getting away from the roads a priority!
