I've seen boo koo tracks, scratch sites in the hardwoods, dusting sites, more tracks, feathers, and gobs of hens.
I have not heard one sound in the turkey woods other than a Jake I called up Sunday, week before last. When I say not one sound, I mean not one. No clucks, fly down cackles, cuts, purrs, yelps, kee kee runs and NO GOBBLING! Not just in one county but two - Troup and Thomas - hundreds of miles apart. I saw boo koo turkeys on both locations during deer season.
They got open space, cover, water, and food plots galore with everything from Duranna clover to tropical corn and sorghum. It doesn't matter what time of day - daybreak, mid-day, late afternoon, or evening, the turkeys will not talk to each other, much less me. The hens I have seen are all flocked up, with no gobblers in sight.
I'm not talking about sitting for an hour or two in the morning and calling it a day. I'm talking about setting up on the likely spots, soft calling, hard calling, running and gunning all day long until your legs are weak from walking and your mouth is sore from calling with the diaphragm.
What's up with all that? Am I the only one this is happening to?
