22 days spent chasing turkeys. Most of the where are few hours before going to work. Terrible season for me. Only setup and called to 4x. Opening weekend is only morning we had a bird close. Had him about 65 yards and didn't close anymore distance, we watched him drift off and finally get with a group of hens. Many silent mornings, lots of very windy days, forestry burned a ton of acres this spring and they are still burning. Our private land had a good group of birds early. I dont hunt them until last 2 weeks of the season, I do keep tabs on them with cameras though. They bred hens just before season began and they all disappeared. Last week 3 big jakes finally came back to the farm. 0 gobbles out of any of them the last week. Took my babysitter only 1x this season. Had birds on our property owners actually home property. They beat us to the green field that afternoon. Got a few half hearted gobbles from them as we watched them feed. Another camera showed them with a few hens. Seen a bunch of cool stuff in the woods that you won't see on the couch. May have thrown dirt in the face of a bobcat 1 morning. This is the 1st year in a long time that I did not fire a single shot during deer season or turkey season combined. I'm not as made at the deer as I once was, turkey hunting will humble a person quick. Talking to a bunch of other folks they have experienced the same. Very few gobbles and once on the ground silence. Just 1 of those years. Gotta a bunch of things to get done around home and spend time with the family until planting season starts in July for dove.
