Well we are half way done with Spring turkey. I've been after it since it opened (weekends) and it has been a little different this year. Not as verbal unless I get in there zone. I don't have any private to hunt so I hunt the national forest. So hike all day looking and listening.. I have killed my two birds as well as called in several in for buddies this year. Just wondering if I was the only one that had to work extra hard this year. There is a good even mix of Easterns and Miriam's where I hunt and I got all Easterns and buddies killed Miriam's.

Last weekend most of the toms around me were still hanging with the hens. Had two different lone toms come in the backyard but neither one had any interest in the calls. Just scratched around a bit and went back down the canyon.

Dan-o:
I hunted the last 2 days.
Birds were VERY quiet.

Saw a group of 5 Toms/Jakes in someone's field.
They were completely disinterested in any calls, and thy were silent.

My son went up to an area we know roosts some birds.
Birds came down pretty quiet, and then went silent on the ground.
He bumped a couple, but got no audible responses or other interest.

CaNINE:
This was my 23rd consecutive year hunting turkeys. It was definitely a tough year. Spent 6 days in the woods and covered a lot of ground. Birds not very vocal and non-responsive to my calls. Still had a great time, found an elk shed and learned a few things. The mystery of spring turkey hunting continues.
