hi Rick,
I think that you are right about the birds here, although i find more and more vehicles i " my " spots every year. last spring i had two different groups in from maine, both trying to make new hunting videos. one group didn't have the patience to stick it out( or perhaps conifidence in my spots), the others were inexperienced that didn't want to listen to where i was suggesting to go, but they still had a good time and are looking at giving it another try this spring. ( if they had listened, i wouldn't have gotten my first ever double, lol) . and i think that most people here turkey hunt like they deer hunt, they find one place that they like, and don't move from that area, even if the birds aren't there that day. me, i am gone if nothing happens in say an hour, hour and a half, because i know that just down the road is another bird or two just waiting to be slid in the back of the truck.. i can range in one days time from barre to danville to stowe, whatever it takes to get the job done is the way i look at it. if you do it, don't overlook the mainers... they have to draw tags for another year or two until it goes open statewide, and they are just itching to hunt fairly close to home.
