I took a guy out this morning before work - no luck at all. I haven't had such a slow turkey season in as long as I can remember. It's like all of my honeyholes are as dry as a bone. No gobbling on the limb, not out in the fields, no fresh sign, just like they've vanished. We're not talking about 1 or 2 spots either. This is 5-10 different places over a 2-county area.

I've never been truly frustrated by turkey hunting before, but it's starting to eat at me right now. I take a few guys every year, and we always will get some kind of action, either a shot, a close encounter, a hot gobbler, etc. Twice now this season, I've taken guys out, and we haven't heard a gobble.The birds just aren't there, and it's made me look bad two times in a row. One guy works with NWTF, and I really wanted to see him get one.

In my 15 years of turkey hunting, I don't think I've ever went an entire morning without hearing a gobble. This year, it's happened twice.
