What to do when no gobbling

[Cowboy]

Back in the 90's, my family had a cabin and 80 acres in the area you asked about. We had great hunts there on both private and public land. However, I travel thru that area quite often now for work and very seldom, if any, SEE a turkey. I think the numbers are EXTREMELY low. I maybe wrong, just  remembering the days when hunting there and driving around over there we would always see and hear birds. Back to your question. Hunt the SIGN. If the turkeys are there, they will leave sign. Tracks, droppings, scratching. They will leave their evidence behind. IF you know the turkeys are there, I'd hang with it. Good Luck.

Nap?  That's what the 70 and over crowd does...

LOL - I'm 76 and seldom nap when turkey hunting.  Several times over the years a silent bird "may" have taken advantage of a sleepy headed hunter.
