My season so far...

[Turkeygirl]

Well here is a update for you all. I haven't heard any gobbles yet to this date. Well except the tom gobbling 2 weekends before the season. I am hoping it just has to do with the weather as each morning has been 20-30 degrees which makes it hard to sit still in one spor for a long time! I set-up this morning in an open swamp that has some willow shrubs in it, skunk cabbage, a few wet springs, and a muddy trail through the middle that I am seeing turkey tracks and poop in at a regular basis. I heard a hen this morning from this spot, no gobbles, but the hen did not come in like the one on the opener. I hope this means the hens have the toms busy or something. I know there are gobblers somewhere, no one has shot them all, but it is so hard to hunt when you don't know where the gobblers are exactly. What do you guys suggest I do until some gobbling happens? Should I stay in one area or move around? I have these next 5 days totally free to hunt then next Tuesday is my may term class so I will probably only be able to hunt weekends but if I roost a tom like last year, I'll hunt before class and hopefulyl not miss. I haven't seen any other hunters except for some boot tracks on one side of the property but I believe those guys went in onto property I don't hunt. This is tough but I'm trying to stay optimistic.

They are hard when they ain't talkin'. I stay on the move pretty much when they aren't. Sit, call, wait and walk method. Give each sit at least an hour. Hang in there and good luck
