RE: CALLLLLING WV turkey hunters
Fellas I have hunted every day (except those windy days) since the VA season opened. I am hunting in WV and VA at the present and if I hear a bird it is the same bird I have heard before. I don't hear multiple birds gobbling and the ones I do hear stop gobbling as soon as they touch the ground. Yesteday I was set up good on a roosted bird and when he flew down and went into a wide creek bed (opposite of my setup), gobbled 2 times and disappeared. At 8 AM I heard him, I think, about 1/2 mile away gobble 2-3 times. I hurried off to try him and he never gobbled again.
I have hunted these things since 1975 and usually do well, to date this is my worst season ever.
