Turkey success (Youth Weekend)
Got this bird in the Glades area Sunday AM. The first bird for my youngest son. Wonderful Morning. Not much gobbling, but it worked out

Pretty special right there BD!!! I know you son was some kind of excited. What a thrill for dad to be along with him on his 1st bird. Happy for you and your son!

Nice Porker!
Todd...Pretty good porker right there! Hoping we're harassing them enough on our place to keep them from becoming regular residents.

So how have the birds been acting this season so far? Between youth soccer and other obstacles, I haven't been able to make it out to take some temperatures. The sign I was seeing before the season looked promising...just haven't had a minute to get after 'em.

Pretty slim at our place. Not near the turkeys here now as there was a couple of years ago. Not sure if it can attributed to the wet springs of the last 2 Springs or predation but we're not seeing what we're accustomed to in years past. Great habitat...plenty of food and cover but too few turkeys. Son connected on a nice Tom Monday morn on Redlands but he always does down there. Has a honey hole that produces every year.

h...
I have been 5 times in the last 2 weeks at different locations. Birds are either not vocal or are few and far between this year. We were able to get my youngest son a nice bird, but it only gobbled twice. I am gonna keep at it for the next few weeks then start trout fishing

I hear ya on the trout fishing! My 12 yr. old (torn ACL and all) and I went out Sunday morning and he was hollerin' uncle in about an hour saying his hands were frozen. I had advised him not to walk to the listening spot eating pop tarts with no gloves on but you know how well they listen at that age. So we headed back to camp....was 27 degrees. No birds heard or seen but I wouldn't exactly call it a strong effort.

What's happened to the turkey population in NE Oglethorpe? Great habitat...no pressure...NO birds!!! Weird???

No clue
I have been several times in the last week. Have heard a total of 2 birds and they were across property lines. Each gobbled 2 times and that was it. I did have a friend get one in Clouds creek area Sunday AM. He snuck in silent on him. Not much sign on my clubs at this time, I think they moved off to greener pastures. Also, have not seen any signs of any jakes which concerns me as well. Ran cameras all thru deer season and only a couple of adult birds showed up all season.

Well....Season ended Friday with not a single bird taken at our place. Son got 2 from Redlands but nothing in OC. 1st time in 5 seasons we didn't have good numbers of birds at our place. Just strange to see the turkey population dwindle. Hope it was just on our place and not a trend around N. GA.
On another note...put out 750 lbs of Oglethorpe Feed and Farm Supply deer feed yesterday. Deer love that stuff! Also planted 6 Dunstan chestnuts a couple of weeks back. A big THX to Todd E for giving me a shout out when he saw them at Walmart on the east side. Trees look really healthy.
