Just for curiosity and interested in what others think that hunt the area, thought I would ask the question. For those of you that hunt Catoosa in Turkey season, Bicolor, Peavine and Genesis sides, could you tell a difference in the Turkey population per area? I have always hunted Bicolor and Peavine (between Daddy's Creek and the Obed), never Genesis side of the Obed. Hunted a total of 6 days and NEVER saw the first Turkey track on the Bicolor side (East of Daddy's Creek). Did see one hen, but never a single track and not a gobble at sunrise or sunset. Bicolor has always had birds and certain areas have many gobblers, but I personally couldn't find any sign where traditionally there has always been sign. Now West of Daddy's Creek on the Peavine side, tracks everywhere and saw many hens. Wife and I took the new bike to Bicolor last weekend and put 30 miles on it, and again, never saw the first Turkey track. We rode Peavine and Genesis yesterday and saw tracks plus 4 different hens. Has me really wondering about the flock on the Bicolor side.
Side note, saw plenty of out of state tags over on Peavine too....Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. Guess they didn't realize that they had traveled a long ways to hunt the most pressured birds in the state.
So for you guys that hunt the area, did you happen to notice the same thing?
