Should I stay or should I go?

Hey guys - I need some advice!
So I've spent the past week turkey hunting the farm where I got my tom last year.
My girlfriend and I went out on a mock hunt on Sunday (day before the season opened), and heard tons of gobbling, had 2 gobbler sightings (we believe it may have been the same bird though) and many hen sightings.
I've gone out every morning since (Mon-Thurs), and have heard zero gobbles, seen zero males, but am still consistently seeing at least a couple hens every day exit the woods and walk across the fields from around 8:00-10:00 in the morning.
My question is:
Is it still worth going to this property because of the hens being there or is it likely that the gobbler(s) we saw on Sunday has been bumped to and/or shot on an adjacent farm? Should I be trying to find a new property that will have gobblers on it, or will different gobblers eventually make their way into the area because of the hens? If other gobblers will come, how long should that take? Days, weeks, or am I looking at next season before I should try to hunt this farm again?
Any thoughts or advice is more than welcome.
Thanks

Stick it out....you have seen tons there and they will still be there. What time do you quit at? 11, noon? Trying hunting till 5,6pm....we have shot all of our birds from 11:30-5:30. The toms are prob busy with the hens in the mornin.....keep at it!!!!

no, stick at it man.. you have been seeing birds there prior to season so you know they are around and that they will go in that area on their own, it's part of their routine.. you gotta remember that their routine may be messed up a little due to the season starting. birds are hearing more calling and are getting pressure from other bushes in your area.. i would suggest putting up a trail camera in the area you saw them before, then go back the next morning for a hunt and check the trail camera.. might show they are still hitting your area and the date/time stamp will provide accurate time they tend to go there.. camera could also show other signs as well, such as trespassers that could be messing up your area with extra/unknown hunting pressure..

I tried twice and did not see a bird. People told me they saw birds there before. Each time I waited for about 1 hour. First time 7-8AM. Second time 6-7AM. Did I go hunting at a wrong time or I have to wait longer?

I think you need to stay at it a little longer....I don't usually even make my first call till I've been in the blind for an hour

Alright I'll keep at that property
Thanks for the thoughts.

Hang in there and as others have said, stay out a little later. If you can find where they are dusting, you might want to hang close to that spot. With the sunny and warm weather they'll be hitting the sand hard.

roost the birds in the evening and hunt near by in the morning.

I would stay and hunt that property if you have seen birds there. This turkey hunting thing can be a roller coaster ride but when it comes together it's worth it.
