No Turkey for Mother’s day this year :(
I only had a few days to hunt, and I was pretty excited to hear gobblers the night before my permit. It was just about sunset when I hit the owl call and a couple Toms gobbled back. In the morning I setup right where I heard the birds, but they roosted the other side of a swamp and would not cross it to come to me. So when they stopped gobbling, I headed to the woods on the north side of the road and bumped a flock of birds, there was a tom at full strut, a couple jakes and about 4 hens. I was so mad that I spooked them off. The next morning I cam back and had gobblers and hens talking all around me, but the weren’t buying whatever I was selling! So to make a long story short… i didn’t have enough time to really work the woods and was unable to score a bird this year.
