He told me to go ahead, but he said that he’d given some other hunters permission to hunt, too. I called Kevin to make sure that I could hunt on his farm. I chose a landmark, so that I’d know where to set my blind and decoys the following morning - if Kevin was cool with me hunting again. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something about him seemed different. I pulled off along the shoulder of the road and scanned with my binoculars. However, way back behind his barn on the other side of the road was a dark dot where a freshly worked dirt field adjoined a lush alfalfa field. When I drove past Kevin’s property early the morning before my F tag started, I didn’t see any turkeys in the field where I’d scored in 2021. I hunted Kevin’s property for the first time in 2021, and I bowkilled a bird there on my first attempt during Time Period F, which is the last week of the season. My strategy with gaining access to private ground has allowed me to meet a handful of salt-of-the-earth folks whom I otherwise wouldn’t have - folks like Farmer Kevin. Again, the idea is to spread my harvest across a greater area, so that I have little to no impact on any one area. All told, I hunt in two to three different counties every spring. My strategy is bouncing around and getting permission on several different parcels that are far apart. Since I can’t get enough of spring turkey hunting, I buy multiple tags. ![]() I’ve found that “conservative harvest” means I can return to properties every spring and have birds to hunt. However, it’s important on an individual level not to harvest too many birds from one area or property. The state has been allocating tags this way for many seasons, and it’s been proven to maximize opportunity without overharvesting. Each tag is for a specific zone and time period. With all of that behind me, it was time to focus on what I love most about spring: Bowhunting big Eastern gobblers in my home state.Īfter the drawing, Wisconsin allows turkey hunters to purchase one leftover tag per day beginning in late March. ![]() My nephew and my friend’s son both nailed big, paintbrush-bearded gobblers before noon on opening morning of the youth hunt. I annually mentor young kids - usually nieces or nephews - with turkey hunting, to plant seeds in the next generation. With time running out, I anchored one with the shotgun on a spot-and-stalk mission.Īfter that hunt, I returned to Wisconsin and got things situated for the state’s youth hunt. Birds that would answer the calls but go the opposite direction gave me a touch-go. For the previous two mornings, just after sunup, a gobbler had strutted right here, and I fully expected that he’d be roosted within 200 yards of my setup. Why? Well, I hadn’t heard a single gobble. Most countries do not observe DST though.I was bewildered as I nocked an arrow and dawn spilled daylight onto the gorgeous Wisconsin landscape. In these countries time zone offsets from UTC change twice a year. Time zone offsets from UTC range from UTC-12:00 to UTC+14:00.Īlmost all countries in Europe and North America as well as many other countries observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) and put their clocks an hour forward in the spring and an hour back in the autumn. UTC corresponds to mean solar time on the Prime or Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude). One notable exception is China where Beijing time serves as the official time all over the country.Ĭoordinated Universal Time or UTC is the reference point to determine time zone offsets. Countries whose territory stretches from West to East by a significant distance, such as Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil and some others, are usually divided into a few time zones. There are also cases when adjacent time zone difference equals 30 or 45 minutes.įor most countries the entire country’s territory lies within the same time zone. Time difference between adjacent time zones normally equals one hour, though sometimes time in neighbouring time zones may differ by two or more hours. Time zone boundaries usually follow country or administrative borders. All places within the same time zone observe the same time. All of the Earth’s surface is divided into time zones. In everyday life people use official local time which almost always differs from solar time. Another consequence of this rotation is the fact that while moving by 15° from West to East local solar time increases by an hour. The Earth’s rotation on its axis leads to change between day and night. The length of a solar day is determined by the time that it takes for the Earth to complete a full rotation around its axis and equals 24 hours.
