So not sure if that's why, or just less members after birds this year. I was surprised that even last sunday there was only 3 or 4 of us posting. Maybe because it’s still “unofficial” 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these Guys are super serious about Turkey Hunting. I know my life is pretty busy with spring chores and life opening back up some. But I also know we've lost quite a few members recently including a mod. Place can be pretty hostile, and I'll admit that I can be a part of that, but I do wonder if less of us are hunting woods chickens or if we're just posting less. I can say I'm on pace to have my least amount of sits in and it's mostly just due to being really busy with life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Definitely less activity around here but after the first week interest always drops off, people are tagged out or worn out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYTRPR Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I think the influx in the fisher population will be tough on them .I’m seeing a ton of fisher in the Southtowns the last couple of years . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sincere apologies lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to hunt before the internet and social media with no need to post on a forum so they could be just going back to that mentality...

Gobbler Chaser Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Let's see if this warm weather makes stuff happen. It's been a pretty cool season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012_taco Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I hunted a new spot in Elma today, I heard more gobbling at first light than I've heard all season. Unfortunately too far away and on another property. So I got close as I could and did some calling hoping they would eventually make it my way. I'm sure I didn't give it enough time but I have things to do so I called it at 9 am. And TF , I'm not a live from the woods guy until I shoot one. That's why my posts are always days behind! Sorry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

518BowSlayer Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Heard a couple gobbles across the creek on the neighbors property. Chances of me calling one in and making him fly across this creek are slim. During deer season there was a tree that fell across it and I saw a gobbler walk across it but it must have gotten washed down stream. Thought that was gonna be my golden ticket but it's gone. Still just nice to be out!Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Nothing heard as of 545am. Could be my first career non gobble hunt. 501am was legal shooting but crazy dark in hardwoods Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomax Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 One gobbled at 515 across the street and I haven’t heard or seen any since quiet morning so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Heard one gobbling on the next property over. He gobbled ~8x, then shut up when I assume he flew down. Just had no interest in coming over. I sat until 7:00, but packed up and headed out to start working. (OK, working from home, but sitting on my deck AND listening for any gobbling also... ) Had a big ass coyote at 30 yards looking at me and pacing back and forth in a freshly plowed field at 5:10am. Kind of eerie! Edited May 20, 2021 by Cabin Fever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Was on the fence this morning. Got to bed early enough, but a lot going on in life and little restless sleep and a full day ahead so I pulled the plug on the alarm around 1:30. I'm partially bummed at my lack of drive this year. I've had birds all 3 mornings I've been out. Sunday is the next day I can get out so maybe I'll get it done then. Also need to bring the 2 boys along once so not sure if I wait or take them then. I'm making an effort to drink less and get to bed earlier on non-hunting nights in hopes that helps my energy for the 4am wakeup calls... but the IPA's are just so good in this warm weather haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I pulled a cam today and had zero birds. Its on a well traveled gas line. My local spot is dunzo.
