Not quite right. Those are the months when there are stuff all crickets as hopefully the rain has drowned them all. The whole point of havesting them in May, June, July is that it's after the crickets have gone but before the breeding season.
ie if it is a very dry year with a long indian summer it might be best to wait until June to grab a turkey or peafowl.
