Think he just came to check the feeder from deer season?This guy was in my front yard a few mornings ago.
It's a long season.Welp, life has me busy so just got out this morning to scout. Disappointed. Was in the woods at 0530, didn’t hear a single gobble. After about 7am I tried some owl, tried some crow, couldn’t elicit a single response. Public land. Scouted this spot last year and came close to connecting on a gobbler but never was able to seal the deal. With today’s results, my outlook for opening morning doesn’t look great.
What they do one day can totally be the opposite the next. I have heard them go to roost gobbling their heads off. The next morning? Nada. Had no gobbling at roost time and gobbling like crazy the next morning. I wouldnt be too discouraged yet.Welp, life has me busy so just got out this morning to scout. Disappointed.

Ok, noted. I’ll be in the woods first thing tomorrow hoping for the best! I’m hunting Patuxtent River SP.What they do one day can totally be the opposite the next.

Yup. I always say, you can do the same thing five days in a row and the turkeys won't like it. All of a sudden, on the sixth day, they're trying to climb into your lap.What they do one day can totally be the opposite the next. I have heard them go to roost gobbling their heads off.

I really like this guy. He gives very good advice on turkey hunting...
