I have hunted three different places,(2 states), for turkeys this year with very little results. I have seen a few birds but a shot opportunity at a tom or even a jake just hasn't happened.
All of the places I huntedare pretty far away. The closest is a three hour drive. So scouting just didn't get done especially with todays gas prices. I went on second hand information from landowners etc. Next year I'll have to bite the bullet and make the drives to the different places I'll hunt.
I'm not done yet. This coming weekend I'll hunt the place north of Abilene I went to on opening morning. I at least saw some birds there and had them gobbling. I went home early due to being sick. Maybe this week I'll be able to seal the deal.
Next year I'll hunt out of state again I hope. When I decide where to go I'll try to do some better planning and hope that pays off with better results.
