Now Choudawg, if huntin' them there turkeys was easy then everyone would be doing it!
This is my 4th year of serious turkey hunting and I have yet to even have a chance at pulling the trigger on my Benelli 12 gauge. So I am going through some serious frustration as well. (man, I sound like Bicknell)
We heard a total of 3 gobblers this morning but they were all on adjacent land that belongs to someone else. We were calling the first one to us and he was coming hot and heavy, but he either got hung up by the barb wire fence or he found some hens before he put an eye on our decoys.
Maybe, just maybe, I will finally get a chance this year. But if I don't I will try again next year, and the next, and the next, etc ...
There is NOTHING like the sound of that GOBBLE on a cool, spring morning either way!!
