Taking "green" hunters can be very frustrating

Going from a split v to a ghost cut  was a great idea.

Just cuz you shot 2 Toms in an area last year in 2 hours, doesn't mean there will be any there this year...

Apparently Toms have a locating "Yelp"..... No it wasn't a hen.....

I was once told by a wise old turkey hunter that when you hear that singe gobbler yelp, it's his final verification that the hen is there and the hunter should respond right away with a single cluck.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

That's exactly what I did. He closed the last little bit of distance and that was that. Only sound he made the whole time.

Learned that im not as great if a turkey hunter as I thought. It doesnt hurt to get humbled though. It was a super tough year all the way around.

I remembered how much fun it is to help others kill a bird.
