I have only been hunting turkeys for 3 years, and this year was the worst yet. I hunted 3 mornings, and 4 afternoons, and I finally saw my first bird last night. It was a bearded hen, and she got a pass, since I got a bearded hen last year. I did bump a group of about 8 birds the night before, right after I left my truck. 2 were toms. Birds were not talking much this year, and the ones that I did hear, were atlas 300 yards away, on land I don't have permission to hunt. I think the foot of snow we got the first couple of days didn't help.
