Went out to a spot I have in Smith County just to see whats what. This spot is odd because about 6 years ago it was LOADED LOADED with turkeys. I mean nothing to hear and see 20-30 birds fly down into this bottom field each morning. It was wild and I loved going out there from time to time. However about 5 years ago all the sudden there was NONE, and I mean nothing. That went on for 2 more years, just didnt hear or see a bird out there all the sudden.
Then 2 years ago I finally went out there and heard 1 Tom and 1 Jake a few times. Then last year I went out and heard 3 toms over the season. Granted since they disappeared I never decided to actually "Hunt" it I just liked going out there to see what was going on a few times during the season.
Went out there morning and heard 2 toms up on the ridge but then a freaking GAGGLE of jakes walking by me. So it gives me hope that at some point, maybe next year, it might be huntable again. Also you cant see it in the video but 4 other jakes had already passed by me and 2 others were in the field right behind me
