You can't say you didn't get nothing at all.... at least you got to be out there, seeing and hearing things that people that don't hunt never get to hear or see. That stuff is priceless in my book. I hope you never give it up.

I tell people that turkey hunting is kind of like having a Harley or choosing a 60's muscle car over a new sports car; If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand. Anyone who's been at it for 11 years understands. Stick with it. Think of how satisfying it's going to be when you do succeed.

I hunt on a friends 40 acres... It's all wooded, but it's mostly wet... swamps, marshes, and creeks... Very little hard ground with woods... I see thier tracks and feathers... I see them while deer hunting... But they have no real reason to be there... I can't keep moving till I hear them... It's all private... And for the tag I drew, there is no public land... This is my 5th year hunting this particular piece of land... In those 11 years I have hunted other private lands, public lands, even hunted in Colorado for two of the years... Oh yea, I took a friend out (the 40 acre land owner) for his first time (and so far only time) and called for him on his property... And wouldn't you know it, he got a 2 fer... He shot two big toms with one shot... I go out for just me the next week (we drew diff seasons) and notta... Every year it's the same... notta, notta, notta.... It is fun, but it's getting old... I'm getting really tired of the dissapointment...

Hunting in the great State of Michigan can be feast or famine. It is very difficult to find good hunting ground, especially for turkeys. Access to good ground is rare and all but impossible to find. I know I lived there for a dozen years.
If I were in your shoes and really wanted to get a turkey I would scout out some of the public ground up north or else start knocking on doors. The Mannistee National Forest is decent. A long drive for you but maybe you could take the family camping and work in a hunt.
I think your commentary speaks for itself. In 11 years in the right spot a person should almost be able to accidently kill a turkey.
Don't quit hunting, just quit hunting the same spot over and over.
Good luck, we are all pulling for you.
