[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5062391, member: 2805"] Correct, there are very few turkeys on the southern half of Desoto National Forest any longer. ( somewhat better population up at the northern half). That's what makes it fun. Plus, it's only 20 min from my house, so I can hunt more frequently and actually spend more time in the woods without having to make a long drive elsewhere. Heck, I covered 4.5 miles this morning and still made it to church on time. :) Saw 2 spots that should have a bird in them at some time during the season, and another 3 that were total busts. At this point in my life, I've killed so many turkeys I'm looking for the experience itself. Killing a turkey is just icing on the cake. I'd rather get to spend 10 days in the woods hunting with just a chance at a kill vs only 1 day hunting with a guaranteed kill. The bad thing is that it's really hard on my kids to drag them all over the national forest and never hear a bird. They get discouraged after just a couple hunts. [/QUOTE]
