0 for 3 ... slow season so far... how's it going for you?

[Monster29/66]

I haven't hunted In a week as tired of plucking my GFs 2 birds and 2 birds for buddies.. None of whom like to get their hands dirty and my own bird.

what I've noticed this year is some days the birds just aren't making a peep... But that's doesn't mean they aren't there and wanting to come to the call. 3 different times this year birds have come in without making a sound. Other day they are gobbling their heads off.

I also have a roost 200 yards from my bedroom so I do get to hear them on a daily basis and am getting pretty good at understanding why effect weather can have on their behaviour.

I went fishing Saturday and Sunday am and was on the water by 530 am. Saturday the birds gobbled all morning long, Sunday they never made a peep.

Ps... One tip I will give you for when the birds are silent is way hand listen to the crows... You will figure out where the birds are.

Ps way hand listen is watch and listen to the crows.

Wanna explain what you mean??

I had a bunch of crows by me on Day 2... wouldn't shut up... made me want to blast them...

No turkey though!

Turkeys seem to gobble to crow calls more than anything else. Crows always seem to fly right over my decoys and make some calls when right over head. Probably warning the turkeys LOL

got a crow call... never works

I have been hearing lots but they are not showing themselves or coming into range, douled on jakes opening morning with my brother. Could (should?) Have shot another Jake the following weekend. But lots of toms around so holding out, it will hopefully fall together soon.

Turkeys don't like crows especially at this time of year. The crows feed on turkey eggs. Watching the crows can at times give you an idea of where the turkeys are.
Our gang has been having the same issue with shy turkeys. We have found that it is coyotes in the area. Something to watch for...
