Same for me, I started out on the Cahaba WMA teaching myself and would get some distant gobbles but never anything close. After two years with no luck on the WMA the third year I had the opportunity to hunt on private property and got one. I have had good success and lots of fun on private land ever since but still don't think I have learned enough to hunt public land. I still have not had a Tom come up in full strut or to a decoy either. The second is probably my fault as I don't give them enough time to get a look around...
