I' m looking for a reason to go hunting on PA' s last day, which is this coming saturday.............chasing turkeys isn' t appealing to me anymore this season. This season, at least for me personally, is really testing my love for the sport. I' ve hunted 12 mornings, and haven' t had A SINGLE bird, jake, hen, or gobbler, within sight, let alone gun range. I haven' t worked one bird yet, besides the one that got shot from in front of me the first week. I' ve hunted public land, coal mine property,and even private land where no hunters have been for years. They just aren' t cooperating. It' s one let down after another. Hard calling, soft calling, no calling, cuttin' and runnin, sittin' for hours over decoys...........nothing. Went this morning, never heard a gobble. Another wasted vacation day. I guess that' s what I get for killing a nice one the first 10 minutes of the season the last couple years. About the only thing I' m getting is " up early" .... Congrats to all you guys who filled your tags this year, I' m happy that you didn' t have to suffer through a non-eventful season like I did..........it' s starting to feel like a bad day at work with no pay-day. Also wanna thank everyone for making this new member feel welcomed here, I really like this forum and the guys who write on it, but I think I' m starting dislike the sport!! [&:]
Take care guys.........
