Yeah, right. Oh well. A beautiful morning anyway. I had a huge fox almost run right across this field into my lap. He ended up entering the woods just about 15 ft. from where I was sitting. Wish I'd been quick enough to catch that!

Oh, well. Up again tomorrow morning at 3 to try again. (I guess by the time this is posted I'll be back home. Maybe better luck.........?)

I saw 50 of them at Wegmans last week...

50 @ Once ?

Re:#8-

Where you at, rockmeister? Here in western NY we only get sunrise to noon for spring gobblers. My buddies and I were just discussing this the other day.

Really sucks to be us in this regard.

I'm in central Wisconsin. We have to buy a permit in Dec. then the permit goes into a lottery draw and if you're name is pulled, you then can buy the license. The season itself is broken into 8-5day seasons with each season starting on a Wed. and ending on Sun., we can hunt from sunup to sundown.

What type of call are you using? I used a box call and was able to get a gobble or two in response from a distance, when they came in, there were about a dozen jakes and a couple nice gobblers that surrounded my decoy.

I'm using a slate/glass call with 3 different strikers. The problem here seems to be hunting pressure more than anything else. Population numbers are high around here, higher than ever but, depending on your spot, pressure can be intense.

If only I could hunt close to the city. I pass a field every day that holds around 60 turkey and probably half as many deer. Nice to see on the way to work every day but very frustrating as it is not huntable!

Field and Stream had some good reads a month or two back regarding turkey hunting and the varyous types of calls. They interview an old boy who makes different sounds (crows, song birds, nature in general) so as to make the turkey feel right at home, because they are so pressured and they remember from year to year where the shooting is and the hens seem to pass this information down the line. It's real interesting reading and makes sense. I can send it to you if you want. just send me your addy at serockwoodat2010dotnet

sounds like a great article, rock. don't bother sending it though 'cause I've got a place to check it out. definitely will look for it.
