Turkey hunting can be slow at times, but there are things you can do to avoid boredom.

ORIGINAL:Not sure what y'all would call the stimulous that makes a turkey hunter break into half azz hunting means and methods but I call it getting bored or disenchanted with the current happenings.

RE: bored of turkey hunting
Maybe you guys don't know what bored means. At times I get bored of turkey hunting, and that's when I make mistakes. I get less alert, imagine I had a .22 to shoot the squirrels, call too much, move a little too much. There's no way y'all can stay focused for a morning and only concentrate on turkeys. Heck, I'd say you wouldn't nap if you weren't a little "bored."

RE: bored of turkey hunting
I don't get bored but I do get anxious. I love hearing the toms gobble. It just keeps me thinking they are getting close. So when they are not talking then I want to fall asleep. When I am hunting with my dad he does most of the calling so its hard to keep my attention unless the birds are talking. I was out hunting turkey in Pa last Saturday and only heard 2 gobbles. I think the weather played a part. It was rainy and cloudy. The birds were just not talking to us. We set up on one but never heard a thing after that. We headed back towards a field and did spot a hen out eating but nothing else. We set up hoping a tom would be near by but again we saw or heard nothing. I went out again on weds. but only heard one gobble. Nothing was moving. I will try again on Friday. I hope I can get the birds to talk on my next hunt.

Nope, NEVER get bored. I could stay out all day, every day, during the spring. I do get tired though! Which definately leads to naps in the woods, which is one of the funnest parts of turkey hunting to me. Just a week ago I was with a buddy and it was about 12:30 in the afternoon and we just got back to the truck for some food. I decide we should set up in the shady area in the woods. My reason was mostly to sleep 20 minutes, wake up, call for a minute, then repeat. Man I dont was season to end!
