Wolf Pen offers fall turkey hunting on 35 private acres near Tyner, Kentucky, in Jackson County, with a long season that runs from early September into mid-January.

Fall turkeys travel in flocks, feeding through the hardwoods and roosting in the mature timber near Wolf Pen Creek. They move across the property's ridges, edges, and hollows on steady daily routines, which gives you two classic options: set up on their travel route, or scatter the flock and call the birds back together. The steep ridge-and-hollow terrain helps you close the distance without being seen.

One party of up to two hunters has the property at a time. Access is walk-in only: park at the designated parking area off the easement road and hunt on foot, which keeps flocks on their natural routines. Camping is allowed as well.

Hunt with a bow through the full fall archery season, with a crossbow during the fall crossbow periods, or with a shotgun during the week-long fall shotgun seasons in late October and early December. Each hunter may take two turkeys in the fall, one per day: one with a beard of 3 inches or longer and one without. You need a Kentucky annual hunting license and a fall turkey permit, sold over the counter with no draw. Tyner and McKee are the closest towns for supplies.

In fall, wild turkeys gather in family flocks of hens and young birds, while adult gobblers often band together on their own. Flocks feed through Wolf Pen's mixed hardwoods for mast, seeds, and insects, roost in the mature timber near Wolf Pen Creek, and follow fairly steady routes across the ridges, benches, and edges. Scouting for fresh scratching and droppings, then either setting up on a travel route or breaking up a flock and calling birds back to the scatter point, are the classic fall tactics on this kind of ground.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and to continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them.

2-Day Hunt. By booking the first day of your hunt, you are automatically booked for the following day as well.

If there is a lapse in availability, please do not be discouraged to reach out to IO. All calendars are set and managed by landowners, and unavailability is set by them. However, IO is willing to reach out on your behalf, to check on available dates. Other reasons for unavailable dates include biologist recommended hunter/harvest quotas that landowners implement, as well as state season dates not being released.
