I hope you are right snapper.. Here they tend to travel just before our season starts. Sometimes in the places we find them the year before will not produce as they have traveled elsewhere. But normally they will not be all that far away. I saw a large flock of them in a field this morning and drove back to get my camera. When I got there none out. They were right in town though and I do not hunt those ones. But at the same time they will spread out a long ways once they start breeding.
We are sorry to hear about your luck John. But, at least you were able to get back out. That is the only way I know how to get a turkey is by getting out there and doing some calling. Good luck to you and I hope you are able to call in a nice bird..
