turkeys hard to find this year
this fall has been an odd year. the flocks don' t seem to be as big as they usually are and they are a lot harder to find. we busted a flock of about 9 up last week, but that was the first time we' ve seen a turkey since the season started on nov. 1st !! that day we had one coming in until something spooked it. just go a few more days. hopefully i' ll come across some more!!

RE: turkeys hard to find this year
I agree, I don' t think that they have organized into the larger flocks yet due to the food abundance this year. I busted and called back in a flock of 10 one day which were all hens and then called in 5 gobblers the next which we killed two of them. Called in one more on fri. Good luck finding them. Pat
