Had the day off yesterday, decided to check out some new spots I found on Google earth and do some listening since I haven't found any toms on my lease again this year.
Didn't hear any birds, a couple spots were total busts and uninhabitable by turkeys, but I did find 2 spots that I think will be incredible. Some fresh scratching, a few tracks, and found a very old tail fan feather.
One big low point... forest service pushed in a new burn lane and seeded it with wheat. Starts right at an easy access point from a main road and leads to within 400y of one of my honeyhole spots I found last year. That spot was good because you had to crawl on hands and knees almost 50y from where I accessed it, then another 400y crouched walking through privet and yaupon to reach the open drain. While the new lane doesn't lead to the drain, it does get close enough for a bird in the drain to respond to someone taking the easy walk on the road.
Less than 2 weeks to juvie season! I can only take my 13yo daughter, Ethan is now too old at 16 to participate.
