Not feeling right

After hunting for almost 10 days straight and seeing birds, I have not been able to seal the deal with one.  I was thinking about selling my turkey gun and burning my camo.  Will someone please give me a digital slap to bring me back to my senses for almost making a terrible mistake?

What is the gun and how much are you asking? Joking, if turkey hunting was easy all the time it wouldn't be as much fun. Keep at it, things can change quickly.

Now get back after them soldier!!!!!

Seriously, is it time to sleep in a bit and go out a bit later tomorrow?  Let them get rid of some hens and hit it about 10am tomorrow.  Give it some thought.  And good luck! :anim_25:
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Sounds like your are focusing too much on killing a bird in a hurry.  Like Tail Feathers said, get some good sleep and just enjoy being out there.

I threaten to sell my guns, camo, and calls every year.  You just have to tell yourself each day that it could happen.  I had a horrible opening weekend and some other bad days, then I caught the bird I was after in the right mood and he came in on a string.  Have to stick with it.  The only thing for sure is that you can't kill one if you stay in bed.

That's why it's hunting and not killing. Keep after it and good luck!!

Relax.  Remember that Spring turkey season doesn't last long and you'll be wishing it was closer during the off-season.  Get as much out of it as you can.  Early season frustrations can break a lot of hunters because turkeys aren't acting the way we want them to.  It is turkey hunting and not just turkey shooting. Stick with it, be patient, and remember that things can change like flipping a switch. 

Sometimes having to eat a tag makes you meaner & more serious for next year.

I fail to understand the concept of the desire to willfully giving up turkey hunting.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Right there with you, I am going on 2 seasons without a bird but just keep going cause it's gotta happen sooner or later. Also we are probably hunting the same place I am here at Campbell.

I used to be at Campbell.  Been gone from there about 11 years now.  There are a lot of turkeys up there.  Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.
