There are a few things with fall birds. First they are moving in flocks which makes them much much more difficult to call in. But if you can locate a flock you have a chance. Plus there is alot of other competition for hunting such as deer, small game and waterfowl that is open at the same time as fall turkey. So they arent getting the same amount of attention as the spring birds do.
In the spring the gobblers are looking for hens to breed and they are much more vocal and easier to locate. Although they are not any easier to get into range. But come spring time turkey is the only game in town open for hunting.
Another thing is alot of archery hunters in ohio buy a turkey tag just in case. I know I did when I lived out there.
