I’m done. 7 hunts in Idaho produced no birds to the gun. Early season they were gobbling up a Storm. Acted like Merriums should. Loud and standing their ground. Thought as the season progressed I’d catch gobblers as the hens left them. Then they all vanished. Didn’t hear a gobble the last three hunts. South west Idaho doesn’t have a lot of birds in the forest. Private and draw tags are where the birds are.
Thought Ragan and I were going north to close it out. Ended up being rained out and making an early trip back to California, her mom was admitted to the hospital w pneumonia. She’s out now and staying with us.
For those still out there chasing, good luck. Keep us posted.
