Have not seen any turkey in 3 weeks or more. Have been out several evening in different places. finding deer but no turkeys. Season is to open Monday but for what ? ? Going to go searching this morning and remove the last tree stand.
Just saw the first one in 3 weeks. 1/4 miles up on top of the hill going North down a dirt road that ground the West side of my hunting area. Looked like a hen as I saw no beard with the field glasses.
Got up to 50+ this afternoon. Saw some tame turkeys in full strut on the way home so maybe the wild ones are in the mood too. Storms moving in again tonight with up to 3" of snow by morning. That ought to cool them off again for a while. I might get out hunting one of these days but have to find the birds first. Have no clue where they are holding at but have to be around some place.
Had a jake/hen, not sure, working my way until the neighbor drove his ATV right up to it and sent it scurrying into the woods. As he walked into the woods the turkey busted out of the timber and flew right over my blind 150 yards away. Kinda cool, kinda sucked all in one. Hoping today is the day...before this next round of snow.
