Guys remember in turkey hunting many things go back to the adage of less is more.  Be careful not to over hunt your spots.

Well like I said birds gobbled great Monday, but have shut down the last two days. We have had really bad weather, so I hope that is the reason. It is supposed to clear out tonight, hoping things improve tomorrow.

Congrats Nick, great bird! Well I hunted everyday this week and have not heard a bird since Monday. I have hunted my farm and 2 others and nothing. Sorry guys, I am still trying, I have till the 24th of May to try to score. I have talked to several people around here and hear the same thing, not many having any luck, very disheartening to say the least.

Well my birds have shut up on both places last three hunts have yielded nothing got two more hunts left maybe I will get lucky and get a upgrade but not looking good but good luck to you guys still chasing them

[Illini Tom]

well, guys, i am done after striking out with my third permit. first unfilled a tag in a long time.
had 9 "close encounters" and should have scored. oh well, still great fun.

whats goin on with the rest of the team? theres several guys we havent heard from in a long time.
still hunting? season over and no bird?

[ericjames]

I've been done since April 30 . All I can say is it has been fun, sorry I didn't get us a better scoring bird. Unfortunately, I hunted less this year than I have in a long time.  I  enjoyed hearing about all of the hunting trips and seeing all the kill pics.
