Turkey Season Update – Hard Times…

I just wanted to give a turkey season update. I have one more hunt in Georgia, but as of now, we have killed 5 gobblers. Tad killed an Osceola, my Dad has killed 2 Easterns, and I killed 2 Easterns. It has been a tough year. We never had any mature gobblers show up on our property in Florida where we hunt Osceolas. Tad shot a jake that was the only bird down there. I then went to Mississippi where we have had really good success. Then I went to Georgia where the weather and coyotes messed up; plus, they were henned up really bad. Finally, I went to Texas with a group and we had unbelievably bad luck. We have killed birds in Texas before, but this year we got skunked due to the weather, high winds, wild fires south of our locations, low number of birds, and adjacent property hunting pressure. I am very grateful for the birds we did get and we do have some video for TurkeyThumpers.com coming soon after the season. So stay tuned for that, and hopefully we get some birds in Georgia.
