Your opinion of this years season

[turkeyfeathers]

I believe some states seasons are ongoing but a lot are over. What was and is your overall thoughts on this years Spring season?
I personally thought it was the worst gobbling activity year I can remember. Reasons and factors I believe that contributed were: henned up ,had some real warm days, full moon seems to affect birds in my experience ( and yes I realize every month has a full moon ,lol). Had birds ripping 2 of 8 days. Once he hit the ground, gobbled a few times on ground and shut down and guessing he collected his harem. Bird I did kill came in silent And just realized I never got to sit in the rain of my hunts. . Just curious to what you thought of the season.The woods were still just as much fun to hear wake up but gobbles make it a little more fun.  NY here btw.

This season was great for me here. Lots of gobbling and bird activity and I hunted the early may season. Last year I hunted late may and had no gobbling, the bird I killed last year came in silent

It was a pretty good season for me heard birds everytime I went besides once. There still gobbling here in wv as of Friday. But this year I hunted a lot more than I usually do. I went from 200 lbs to 185 lbs that should say something haha.

One of the best seasons in a while here in WV.Had good gobbling for the whole season,early morning or late morning didn't seem to matter.Lots of birds,mostly 2-3yr olds,couple of older birds that ive been after kept hens with them all season but still gobbled good.

I would say it was a solid spring here in CT. Gobbling was good and birds were pretty responsive. Weather was a bit cooler than normal, down right cold some mornings but it was relatively dry. I'd call it a 8 on a scale of 10.

Glad you guys had a decent season. Shrug. 333 days til next spring

One of the worst seasons in my area in 10 years.Bad weather,very little gobbling and henned up.On the up side,starting to see a lot of poults with the hens.

I have mixed feelings. I have never had so many unsuccessful close encounters, but I did hear a lot of gobbles. Seemed like the toms were henned up longer this year. I only filled one out of two tags, but it may have been my more aggressive approach this year. So, I guess some parts of this season were better than others.

One of the best I've had. Alot of gobbling and alot of gobblers that came to the call.

Where I hunted in Ky there was very little gobbling. I don't know why but gobblers just acted different this spring.

[redarrow]

My season was great. Shot a nice tom opening morning. Plenty gobbling.Thats as good as it gets when you only get one tag and don't have the dinero to travel

[guesswho]

It was about like all the other seasons I've experienced.  Some high's with a few low's mixed in, but overall well worth getting up in the mornings for.

same for me in Southern Illinois and from what I've heard SE Missouri.  I filled both my tags though on two great hunts.  Wish i would have applied for a 3rd Illinois tag.

I had a great season, but with that being said it was a tough season when trying to find birds that were alone. We had a late spring here in Ky and birds were henned up all season. We got on a bird the last week of season that still had 7 hens with him.

Cant complain though, filled both my tags and helped a couple others get birds. Cant wait for next season.

It was a good season for me here in marshall co. WV, i was able to get a nice two year old on monday of the last week. I didnt get out as much as id like to have but i was able to call something in everytime i was out except once. Had gobbling everytime i was out. I figured it would be a good year, with last years early greenup and the lack of rain from the year before. Next year should be just as good, its been a pretty mild spring this year to.
