Hunted Monday, Tuesday and today this week. Saw birds every day, but no mature birds in range. Hunted from 10-3 today to try somthing different. Luck was on par with my season thus far.

I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
Hunted hard the last weekend of the season with nothing to show for it. Definitely a turkey season to forget. Saturday my brother and i climbed Mt. Scioto County where we usually always find turkeys. We only make it up that hill a couple times per season because it involves a 1/2 mile walk through chest high grass, followed by a river crossing and waders, then a climb straight up a huge hill to get above where the turkeys roost. We got up there and never heard a single bird. Very disappointing.
Sunday we setup in a field corner in a neighboring property where we did hear a bird Saturday morning and.....the bird was gobbling. Gobbled good on roost, same down the hill to us, but wouldn't step into the field to join the decoys. He stood right on the edge in the brush (25-50 yds) and strutted back and forth for 30-45 intense minutes. We've killed several gobblers here but this old gobbler was having none of it.
End of season...I'm tired...too many 4:30 mornings....bring on bow season!
