This has been one of the most challenging seasons I can remember. I have managed to kill two birds so far, a 14 pound jake and an 18 pound gobbler, but even that was a challenge. Toms with hens, toms not gobbling, drastic weather changes, and toms gobbling but not responding to calling all have affected me. I hunted for five days in Tennessee and managed to scratch out the jake on my last day. Even the jakes didn't respond to calling. It was real tough. It took me two weeks to finally get the 18 pounder on my own property. I have another one out there who is even more stubborn than the one I killed. I will be hunting him for the next two weekends. I guess it could be a lot worse though. Anyone having problems this season bagging one? I guess if it were always easy it wouldn't be fun.
