very discouraged

[dawgfrombama]

I have been hunting everyday since the season opened on Tues. and have not heard 1 gobble.  I had an encounter with 5 hens yesterday but not a longbeard to be seen or heard.  I guess the only good thing about this is that other hunters in my area are not hearing any gobbling much either.

Hang tuff, better times are right around the corner.

Hang tough, Dawg.. Your luck will change sooner than later. When they come, they will come in bunches..Keep the faith, brother..Mike

I hunt central Bama and the birds are not right just yet. Give it about two weeks and they will be right. Stand strong and call softly

It's gonna be a long season if you are 2 full days in and are already "very discouraged".  At least you are getting to get out in the woods and hunt.  I am stuck here at work, just wishing I could be in the woods at sunrise!   Take each day for what it is, a gift from God, enjoy it to its fullest.  When it is your time the birds will be hammering and you will be toting one back to the truck!!

They started late here and still weren't blowing it up last weekend, but good times should be coming.

Good Luck

I heard that guesswho slipped in and shot them all. Half of the fun is finding them and figuring out what they are doing. Good luck.

It's way too early to be discouraged. A few years ago, I hunted REALLY hard the first 2 weeks of the season to no avail and got all bummed out. Some guys I hunted with told me to relax, quit burning vacation time, and wait until April when the birds want to die. This was the best advice I think I have ever gotten regarding turkey hunting, especially here in AL. Just ride out this slow start, and hunt em hard during April. It's like a switch goes off and the birds go from silent and hidden to loud and suicidal...

Hang in there.  I'm in Bama as well this week and haven't hardly seen any sign or heard any gobbling, until this morning one finally gobbled and I was stepping on his head shortly after.

I thougth someone said Alabama didn't have any birds anyway.  Besides, I killed the last bird in AL in 1993 or 94.  I thought I heard one there in 96, but it must have been some idiot with a gobble shaker.  I could have swore I saw one cross the road in centeral AL in 2004, but it must have been an armadillo or a road runner.  In 2008 I saw some tracks, but have since determined they were made by a Blue Heron that must have been searching for water.
