Try hunting on the public land in Missouri. The first weekend my wife and I went and we heard quite a few but none would come in. We even saw a couple BIG birds in a clearing but nothin. This past weekend we heard ONE bird and saw absolutely nothing. Add to that the fact that for the first two weekends of the season we were unable to hunt Saturday because of the blasted rain and you got some tough huntin. I am however looking forward to the last weekend only because I am going to be taking my 4 year old little gril in the woods with me just to get her started. We probably won't go into the woods more than a hundred yards but it will be the best weekend yet because I get to take my little girl.
