Good luck to you!

Turkey season has not gone well for me this year. The birds are not roosting as close as in the past and they are hard to find. I got one more chance next week though!

Picked my tags up Tuesday. Did a little scouting two weekends back and it seems the turkeys where I hunt are in a similar pattern to the deer this season- Hiding out.

Just got back from Louisburg ks and hunted the public hunting at MaraisCygnes national wildlife refuge park see large number of deer and some large groups of Turkey's but all we could call close enough to shoot were young Jakes .We had set out just one feeding hen and a standing hen maybe should have run the funkey chicken and a few more feeding hens .Maybe that would have got the toms closer .But I know the tick were outrageous where we had our net blind setup the ground was moving there were so many. Thank God for the makers of permethrin spray not one tick on us or are gear. going out to a spot outside of town here at home and see if I'll have better luck! Never know hunting to home turf!

I'll be going hunting May 7 to 13 here in Wi. Our turkey population took a toll from the coldest winter on record. I have located a few birds and just have to make the best of it. Good luck to everyone.

We got out Saturday and hunted Cheney Wildlife Area. Too many hunters call the same birds. I think I may have a new strategy for that situation- setup, let everyone else do the calling and just use a lone breeder.
