well just talked to the guys at my hunting camp, they too said LOTS of guys out there for mid week?

they are up for a week to try, said action is quiet due to so many hunters being out, BUT seeing lots of turkey sign, scratching's and such
and green up is still a ways off I can see there too!

good luck

Green up is a long way away up there. The weather was cold on Friday and Saturday and very hot on Monday and Tuesday. There was tons of people out hunting during the week. More than the first saturday of the rifle doe opener. I have no answer as to why. It is never this busy up there. The birds were being heavily pressured and had lock jaw. I wish I knew I was going to have so much company. I would have found some where else to hunt. The fishing was equally slow in the afternoon. On the positive side I did find and hang a new stand. The pictures dont do it justice on how heavy that cover is and the view is just awesome. The best part is it is only 150-200 yards from the road. I usually dont hunt that close but the sign is there so I figured why not. My dad plans on trying out the stand in October before I get up here.

Anyone killed a bird yet? Having any luck? I've been out a couple times over the last couple weeks and haven't had much luck. The only birds I can seem to hear and/or see are on the next farm over where I can't get...yet, lol. Only a couple of days left here in Ohio....

haven't been hunting them this spring, BUT this morning was at a buddy's far, picking up some feed corn, and a BIG old long beard was gobbling its brains out about 40 yrds from me, watching em dump corn into my totes, every bag I emptied he gobbled and came closer, at one point he was about 20 yrs or less from me
Funny how some of these turkeys get so dumb and others when hunting can be such a challenge LOL
Its like they know when you have a weapon and when you don't HAHA!

and YES I can hunt this farm too, just no desire to hunt turkeys this spring, but pretty sure I could have gone home came back with a gun, and kill it, it was 10 minutes from my house or less
BUT no challenge there, SO?
Good luck to you all trying still, its not over yet !

We just hit mid-season here in PA. I am in the South Eastern part of the state. Turkey numbers are low enough that we dont have a fall season. I was out all morning until noon. I didnt hear a sound. I did see a few in the off limits area at middle creek. That place is pretty cool. Well except there is very little open to hunting.

Well now that bow season's over, only means 1 thing...countdown to spring turkey!!! Anyone plan on going out this spring? I haven't seen much of any bird action out here but its still pretty chilly so...
