Tough Week

dsc05470

Been a tough week in the turkey woods so far.  I posted the success I had with my dad on Tuesday, but since then it’s been really tough.  80% of the birds aren’t talking and the ones that do are gobbling on the roost and then once after they hit the ground and that’s been about it.  My game plan is to try and get in their face.  They really seemed to be all henned up, so I think it’s going to be imperative to get in close and hope to entice him just close enough.  These last few days the only ones I’ve been hearing have been on neighboring properties so the “get in their face” technique hasn’t been much of an option. 

Oh well, that’s what makes turkey hunting so much fun – you just never know what to expect.  Hopefully we’ll get lucky these next few days and get some to talk.  I’ll keep you posted!
