For whatever reason, I only see/hear turkeys every few years on my parent's property which is odd for the size and habitat on the property. I thought it might be due to predators, but a game warden told me they busted some old guys at the hunting club across the road baiting with cracked corn a couple years ago so that could explain some of the low numbers. We've seen a nice tom in the fields a couple times in the past few months so hopefully he'll be around this weekend. I'm not a die-hard turkey hunter, but if the birds are gobbling I get fired up like anyone about going after them.
I've only been opening weekend so far. Weather seemed to be ideal. Saturday morning didn't hear a bird gobble on my parents' place. Sunday I went with my brother in law to his Dad's lease and we heard 4 different birds gobble several hundred yards on other sides of property lines, but never could get any to come over.
