Frustrating Season...
It was an unusual, and in some ways, frustrating season. The weather was generally bad on the days I had to hunt in three states (MA, NY, NH). There was very little early morning gobbling on the mornings I hunted, and almost no mid- or late morning talking. I saw five or six jakes and two mature toms: none were talking and none came into my calls. I had four consecutive set-ups busted by other hunters, including the only one when a bird actually responded to my calls in late season. But I really enjoyed each hunt (even those that were busted, after I calmed down), which, of course, is the entire point. I'm glad to hear so many of you were successful. We'll get 'em next spring.

RE: Frustrating Season...
I feel your pain, too. Seemed like my season went that way, as well. Not much gobblin', frequent lousy weather, etc. One blessing though, was that I didn't get my setups busted by other hunters, as I hunted mostly private grounds. I hope that next year, the weather is better, the toms gobble all day long, and every bird weighs 40 lbs!!
