No hen talk, no daybreak gobbling, nothing answered my calls, no sightings of turkeys at all in my favorite turkey places. Two deer walked into the field where I was calling yesterday just after dawn… but no turkeys, where in past years we woulf have small flocks of up to 20 birds in several of the fields and woodlots around here.
One lone hen fed up across the field this morning before the heavy rain began and that’s it. I’m packing for home but I’ll be back later in the week.
