Post Butt kickin'
This is the worst 3 weeks of turkey hunting that I have experienced in a LONG, LONG time!
Short summary of my season...
10 hunts totaling 54 hours
4 longbeards seen, one of which I am pretty sure I saw twice on our farm
Had a ''conversation'' with only 1 gobbler and I didn't kill him! He only answered me twice before leaving with a hen
The bird I was lucky enuff to kill never answered my call - silly 2 year old looking for love and I am THANKFUL for him!
On the bright side I've seen 13 hens-all single birds and 4 jakes

2 weeks left, hope things change for the better!!!

Barry, I definitely think things are turning for the better.
Keep at ‘em (but I don’t gotta tell you that)
