The turkeys in the areas I hunt need a brake from this terrible nesting weather. The population is just getting lower and lower.
I went to MDC website and compare the number for the last 8 years I think and there was one common theme every year less bird being harvested and the jake percentage went from around 35% to 10-15% in counties I hunt. That tells me the hatch has been just awful!
But I am not giving up!!! I will be out there next year and hope the weather doesn't give us what we got this.
I would like to thank Nauticstar for stepping up and taking the team caption spot when I was/am unable to be on here very much due helping family and friends escape the flood waters. Which are now going down thank goodness. But now the clean up begins!!!
For those still hunting get after them!!! We need to try and take this thing!!!!
If your season is still in reply as to when your season closes so we can root you on!!!
No need to worry my friend. I have but one day left this coming Saturday and I've yet to stike gold either. We've had some close calls,been busted with toms coming in silent behind us and had a hen come in this past Sat. and lay down with the decoys. I may take off a day early this week and give it a try before Saturday and see what happens. It aint over till the fat gobbler gobbles no more.
