Worst year in a long time. Heard 4 on the youth hunt weekend and 3 opening weekend one killed one missed. Heard 6 or 7 birds the whole rest of the year 3 of those were behind my house one died to my son and one played with me the rest of the season. Heard one bird at the lease one morning 2 more on the forest.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I killed 3 in the short period I had to hunt between March 21st & April 8th. I have been offshore ever since and missed the rest of the season and several April trips I had planned. The weather pretty much sucked every day I got to hunt with the exception of a few, so I am thankful for the 3 I did kill. I had to hunt hard every day to make it happen, so those 3 were well earned. I am looking forward to hunting some willing turkeys in the coming weeks if the good lord above sees fit!!

First time I didn’t kill a bird in 14 years. I called one in for a friend on his place opening day of the north zone, he came to 60 and smelled a rat and that was the closest I came to seeing a turkey get shot. My main farm and a couple smaller places didn’t have a gobbler on them this year. Hunted some new places and heard a few, just never was able to make one act right. Still had fun chasing them, it just gets old not being able to pull the trigger on one. I repeat...it's karma for killin my turkey last year!! lol at least you have that fine new shotgun to debut next year!

I have always said that one day I wanted to be able to hunt every day of turkey season. Well, I almost accomplished it this year but killed my 5th one in AL on 4/17 and with the travel restrictions, had to cancel trips to KS and MO plus my much anticipated yearly hunt to the Pacific Northwest. It was a strange year for gobbling as turkeys on one part of the club would gobble while others would not. I was fortunate to kill 5 gobbling turkeys with 4 of them being really good birds. I ended up shooting a damn Super Jake on with my 5th tag. He played the part of a long beard and had a full gobble. I had to move on him 3 times to ever get a shot and right before I killed him, he stood in one spot for 4-5 mins gobbling his head off. I never saw him strut and as soon as his head cleared some vines, I smoked him. I’m still proud of him as he acted just like an old gobbler. Not being able to travel cost me a bunch more birds but all in all, it was a good season.

BY FAR, the most frustrating season I have ever been through and its not even close. It went from feast to famine in a hurry. The season started amazing and it was like you turned the faucet off on April 2. For the last month of the season, I can count the number of gobbles I heard on my two hands. Not a single turkey in that month that gobbled on the ground AT ALL. Most all of those mornings I hung around until 10:00 or later and never heard a single turkey sound. Goons EVERYWHERE on public land, in both AL and TN. My private place in Alabama got overtaken by a club member when I’m supposed to have sole turkey rights. I have never done this before, but I skipped Alabama on the last weekend and went to KY/TN instead. I’m glad its over so I’m not tempted to endure more punishment.

The year started off great. I killed 2 at my new club opening week and then killed a 3rd on public land on April 8th. After that it was an uphill battle. Like others have said the pressure this season was tremendous. I typically like to hunt public land during the week but this year every day was like a weekend.

You know how this year's numbers compare to recent years? I believe the 2019 results were about 11,000 reported. Unsure of the final number but it was comical, just like this year's number.
