empty handed

[slughunter]

this year ended the same as all the other years, the turkeys won. my grandpa got 4 but i came out empty handed. im not complaining but its getting frustrating, i might consider quiting spring turkey hunting.

Hey man dont quite trust me it will come.......i hunted these dang things 6 years before i killed one and that was both spring and fall seasons....but trust me once you get that first it will be the best feeling ever

I hear ya slughunter, but I'm in the same boat here man, just keep the faith and enjoy your time in the woods with friends,,,,,,If it weren't for being able to hunt with VTBowman I would have given up on these feathered critters long ago. Hunt hard and be safe...

keep yout head up slughunter, you'll get one next year!

[slughunter]

i hope your right.

You'll just have to do some networking before next spring. Over the years I've been able to develop relationships with a number of landowners. Also through scouting I've found a small public land honey hole that recieves little to no pressure. Keep your chin up and just work to put things a bit more in your favor.

Hey slughunter, don't think you the only one that got no bird, I sure had a good time trying. We can sure hope for better luck next year, right!

[RangerClay]

I agree with borch. Try some more preseason scouting on public land.

I've been out as much as I can this month, but the woods seem as quiet as a Church!!!! I'm hoping that the last two weeks here in NY get better than the first two weeks!!

hey man i didnt even get one to gobble this season...so don't feel like your the only one with bad luck....theres always next year

[slughunter]

to make things worse yesterday me and my grandpa made a long stalk on a group of about 8 toms. we shot at the same time and my tom piled up and his ran so he goes running to cut them off and tells me to stay where i am. after 5 minutes of waiting i bend down and pick up my shell and when i look back up i see my tom jump up and run away. i couldent get a shot off.
