Spring Turkey 2025

I sat the blind with my bow again today. Heard only a couple gobbles and they were way off. I had four hens around me from just after fly down until I left at 10. Any gobbler within earshot heard some great sounding calls from the birds and me… no response. I don’t think I can take too many more mornings like this before I grab a gun and go find one that is ready to end it all.

Sparse gobbling again today. I had one come in completely silent on me first thing. Apparently he liked the tree yelps and fly down cackle I threw out there. He never once gobbled on the limb or the ground so I had no idea he was even around. He crested the hill below me at 40 yds caught me standing there gun shouldered without a chance at making a move. He saw me and that was the end of that lol.

I took Sydney out this morning since she was off school today. We never heard a gobble or seen a turkey.

Sat today and didn’t see or hear a single Turkey. Got out around 10:30. Turkey population has really taken a dive in my area. Ten years ago there would’ve been about 100 turkeys roosted in the swamp and it would get real loud with the tree yelps and gobbling. I have no idea what happened to the population but if I don’t see any this week, this may be my last season for a while. Don’t even have pics of any on my trail cams.
