I've got a spot I need to go to one weekend, used to always have birds in it.

I was there opening day and again on Monday morning. I didn't hear a single gobble. I spoke with a game warden late morning and he said that they were gobbling last Saturday and 3 or 4 died. Of course, that's all that got reported. He said the numbers are down some. The spot I hunted had several birds last year and I'm sure there are several there now. Maybe I was there on the wrong days.

There were only 3 birds on the check list. 2 of which were killed by the same guy a day apart. My brother & I heard one gobble once early, then headed to another gobbling bird in a holler. As we approached we heard what we both were convinced was a hunter working the bird, so we backed out real quiet. Never heard a shot, but dude left out of the in a hurry about 45 minutes later. We listened for a while but never could get on another vocal bird. It was a beautiful day!

I don't mind sharing the location, I have no intent on hunting there again anytime soon.
