Yes, I got skunked this weekend. Actually, this is only the 3rd time I went out this year. But last weekend I heard a lot of gobbling, so I came back this sunday with a decoy and set up at first light. I did a lot of yelping, but heard nothing!
Anyway, I am pretty new at turkey hunting, so I am wondering why I heard nothing after so much gobbling last week. I figure I must have been close to some roosts because I heard several gobblers at sunup last week (even before I started calling).

Oh well, next year I will be back! Still need to get that first one.

Things aren't looking good here... I've got 4 more days here in MA and 1 more week in CT. I had my chance and blew it with a crap shot.... I only have myself to blame.
I'm gonna go every morning for the rest of this week. 1 bird is really giving me the run around.

same here... had 1 real "chance", but the hen led him away... heard very little gobbling tis year, as past yrs. seems we're growing a quieter strain of bird....20 yrs ago, even the Jakes wouldn't keep still!!
