I'm guessing it was a hen or jake that you saw. I've seen hens with red on their heads. If you dont hear much gobbling in the area you hunt, is it possible to find another area or two to hunt. Sounds like tough hunting. On the mornings you do hear a gobbler, try and make it count. Get as close as you can to him and see what you can do. Hope this helps some. Is it public land that you hunt? This can make a difference. If they are hunted hard, they might still be there but just be quiet.
