I spent 5 long days up & down the hills near Syracuse last week, didn't pull the trigger. Fair amount of gobbling in the trees, and silent once they hit the ground, even birds that DIDN'T have hens (saw them fly down & walk in the other direction). But, I heard shots & reports of guys (& girls) killing them, so it's not impossible.

Like the old saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

There are still 24 days left, it's gotta change sooner or later. As distasteful as it may seem to some, when birds are quiet like this, it's often best to hunt them like deer, get on their feeding & travel paths & just wait them out.

Best of luck to all!
