[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5326539, member: 2805"] Getting frustrated with these darn birds. I've hunted parts or all of 14 days since juvie opened Mar 8th. They gobbled good (relative term in south MS) the first 2 weeks, but this weekend on has been miserably slow and quiet. I've had 6 toms in gun range since last Friday, and not a single one gobbled, not once (one tom was missed by a lease member I was guiding we lopped in front of). This morn, another member who doesn't hunt but runs a cell cam for deer texted me a pic of a tom taken at 719a. I snuck in there quietly by 805, but still couldn't get a single gobble from him. Today at noon, I spotted 4 turkeys in a food plot from 150y away from the woods. Snuck in to 40y, ended up being 4 2yos. Called softly to them, one went into half strut, the other 3 started easing away from me, so the one that seemed like he wanted to play a bit followed. I'm ready for these birds to start acting right again. I've heard 1 gobble in the past 8d... and it's not for lack of birds. I have 8 toms still alive on my 2000 ac lease. Really looking forward to TN next weekend to hear some gobbles! [/QUOTE]
