How many ppl didn't kill 1 this year. I came close but no cookie!

I did not shoot a bird either. This was the first year that I actually did it all by my self. I came close on numerous occassions and learned plenty of lessons to apply to next year though!!

Nothing here either for the last two years. We are having some hard times here in VA. First it was the drought; which brought about an acorn drought. Then there was these LATE frosts; I'm talking in May here. This also killed the acorn blooms again this year [:@] Both the deer and turkeys are having it rough. This year was the least amount of gobbling we have ever heard, but on the bright side there are still some hens around to keep the toms happy, too happy!

Count me in that group this spring as well. First time in years. Oh well. It's just the way it goes with a short season and limited ability to get out with starting a new job.

We still had fun though!

Same here...no bird yet....I hunted with my son two weeks ago and he got tagged again before 6AM...Sometimes that kid can really piss me off...

Going out again Sat am....

Nothin here yet either. Will give it another shot tomorow AM though still have 1 week left

maybe can make the magic happen. Have had the oppurtunity to work the same bird 2 times now , maybe the third time is a charm?

Nothing here yet either. Had one day with multiple opportunities, but blew a shot. I'm going to CT tomorrow to check out a new piece of land. Got some good intel on where they roost and how they travel. Next week is going to be lost on work... The following week is still open though. I haven't scored in the last 2 years, I'm still hoping I break the dry spell this year.

I have 2 days left. It is not looking good.
I cannot get them to answer any calls and the ones that do come in, stop short of the decoys or short of where I am calling from.
Hope it gets better for everyone!!

If it was easy it wouldn't be called hunting

I did call a real nice Tom on in on public land only,
To have antoher hunter shot it. [>:]
He was between me and the Tom. [&:]

Boy did that burst my bubble.
Espesaly when he walked out and showed it to me.[:@]
