RE: Sad Season In PA
this was also the wierdest season i've ever had. didn't hear 1 gobble in 3 mornings in SD despite seeing tons of sign and being in an area that holds a lot of birds. here in KS, i think the weather messed them up. opening day of the youth season, IT SNOWED. after that it was almost constant rain and a lot of it. the toms would gobble on the roost but fly down with the hens and be grouped up all day long. when i was able to get a tom moving my direction, they'd get chased off the field by jakes. i've never seen so many jakes in my life which should be good for this fall and next spring. bottom line is i had to work way harder to get my birds than i ever have but that is turkey hunting. good news is that i saw more hens and jakes than ever before.
