Once the winter flocks come together and hen's and gobblers pair up and go in different directions, you will usually have less turkeys in one area, compared to what you were seeing in the winter flocks. Turkeys have an instinct to survive until all are depleted or they are fortunate to have a good survival in a particular area. 
Some years turkeys are not as vocal as other years.

A good habitat / food source plays a part also... 

IMO ...

Yes, crows / ravens all eat turkey eggs

Back in my early years a bunch of us guys in the fall after deer season would ride around the country roads and call crows with a homemade speaker fixed to a cheap cassette play using crow sound tapes and would have a blast shooting them.. What we did for entertainment back then ... LOL...

12v cooler is the way to go. I've got one for freezing meat and a smaller one for grocery's   I ran them for 4 days without moving my truck and had no issue cranking it.  Could always get a solar charger for your battery if you're sitting in one spot for a long time.   

Dry ice works great too or just using ice for a week.

Done both but after using the 12v cooler it's way better. No ice, no watered down food,  no mess.

Rollercoaster ride of emotions on that one.  Was so relieved when I got that message that he was in your hands and good.

There is an absolute link to crows and turkeys.  I paid extra attention to it this year and 9/10 times I had a bird gobbling crows would show up.  If I had hens walking around cameras crows would be on camera within a minute typically.  I think they know gobbling toms mean hens and hens lead them to nest.
