Awful quiet in the WV turkey woods
This is the first spring gobbler season I have got to hunt in WV for a while as I just moved back from spending several years in MT. I've got to say that so far I have been very disappointed with the amount of birds I've heard ( I know, it's only been a couple of days). I hunted on about600 acres of private ground on Monday and Tuesday. There were only two of us hunting and it is prime turkey country (we saw birds every day). We did not however hear ONE SINGLE GOBBLE.
Now I know you can turkey hunt even if they aren't calling very well but I mean these did not call one time that we heard and that sure detracts from the excitement. The last time I hunted these places (about 4 years ago) there were at least 4-6 gobblers raising hell every day. They were still tough as heck and wouldn't come in too easily but they made a lot of noise.
I was wondering what other WV hunters are experiencing as far as "noise level"?????
Thanks and good luck
