No Luck In Wv

[bowhntr1980]

Week one goes to the thunder chickens . Birds have been gobbling on the roosts but once they hit the ground they shut up. Haven't had the best of luck on set ups and can't get more than one gobble out of birds when trying to strike one up. They seem henned up pretty good right now. Not many have been checked in in this area either. Hens should start to nest sometime this week and hopefully the toms will wanna come out to play .

Just keep grinding and smiling! Remember things can turn good or bad in the blink of an eye,and if you're not under a tree when it happens,you will never know what could have happened. Good Luck!

Still, no luck yet. Called in a hen this morning. She got within 5-7 yards. But no Tom. Not even a single gobble this morning or last night when trying to put em' to bed. It's been hard hunting here with all the rain and weird weather not to mention the season came in too late. I've only got a few more outings that I can go on before the season closes so hopefully heads will start rolling.

Stick with it.

I've seen them strutting around here in early June.

It only takes one good day to wipe away all that frustration.

Thanks Tuck, I'm still staying optimistic. Hopefully the weather will stay like today's (upper 60's clear) and get em' fired up.

I saw two gobblers close by this afternoon as I was coming in from work in the middle of a pasture field all strutted out!BUT,turkey season ended here last weekend!

Well I got skunked this spring. Things didn't quite work out right during the last week and I had to close with a goose egg. I guess there is always this fall.

I was only there for the first three days and the high winds, rain and snow really messed me up Did get a shot off opening morning but missed. Hard to shoot when you're soaking wet, freezing and shaking like crazy.

 

I do know this, I'm buying better rain gear next year and it will be the first thing packed in my truck when I'm getting ready for another hunting trip.
