I've been on this piece of property for about 3 years now. I've seen several hens numerous times but today was the first sighting of a gobbler, a Jake. Is this normal? What would explain the low to non-existent sightings?

Spring and fall habitats differ greatly. Seasoned Turkeys hunters have learned “we see tons while deer hunting” usually means turkey wasteland in the spring. I would say In generall they like big open hardwoods and acorns in the fall. Grassy open fields and nesting area in the spring.

Also, your longbeards will be in a flock together in the winter, and they might not be using your place. If you can keep some hens around through the spring, you will eventually have some gobblers.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
