BipNelly, I've been there, done that I guess you could say. The first year I hunted turkeys was near an interstate and I never heard a sound the entire spring except for the interstate! Whether it was so loud I couldn't hear them or they just were not vocal that year I didn't really know. However the second year I hunted there I did hear one gobbling for two weekends in a row until he was killed and that resulted in the same thing for the second year, silence. I don't hear very good in the first place, this was public land, and was located near a weigh station for trailer trucks who liked using their jake brake so this is why I think I didn't hear very much. Havn't hunted there since (skeeters were too bad) but there was a lot of turkeys there.


Don't give up!!!
