Every year hopes are high... And every year ends the same... Full of disappointment, frustration, disgust, anger, and evenmore disappointment... This is year #12 without a kill... I have shot 1 turkey in my life and that was the first year I ever tried andI was 16 years old... I am at a loss to the amount of bad luck one can have... I would have joined a turkey team this year like last, but I knew I would be a help... lol

This year I heard them gobblin all over on the neigbors property, but couldn't get one to come over to save my life... I even heard the neigbor shoot 3 times (in a row)... Missed all 3 I assume... I think I've had it... It was fun just going into the woods and hunting the first8-9 years, but now it's justnot fun anymore... It's turned into a mission the fails every time... And the disappointment is getting very hard to take... Practicing calling, magazine articles, dvd's help not... We'll see I guess.. Look for alot of turkey gear to come up for sale...

Thanks for letting me vent...

I really feel bad for you. I have shared your pain in deer archery and itcan be hard after awhile when you don't get anything. I always findthat when theseason starts eachyear my excitement and hopes are high to get out there and have some fun. It will all come togather for you.

I'm thinkin you need a new hunting spot! Keep at it, it'll come around!

This year consisited of 4 diff hunting area's... All of which you will see turkey's on any given day... I can't understand it...

I know the feeling Boy do I know the feeling.
Each year I get close and yet so far
I have to hunt on public land
and the spots I go to are small
So I will need to get another spot/spots
The only thing all the land is leased to someone else [:@]
And costs a lot of green that I just don't have

So I know your PAIN
Espesaly the teasing I get from the wife

We just have to keep plugging on
And looking back to see where we went wrong
And hopefully learn from our mistakes.

I Wish You Good Luck Next Year
