It's shut down all over the northern half of the state from what I'm hearing. I have yet to hear a bird where I can hunt and haven't sat down and called to one yet.
Matt, I hunt in the northern half of the State and I have been hearing birds every morning that I've hunted (only missed 3 mornings so far).
I have been hearing lots of bad reports.

Consider your experiences on the extreme side of good this year. I'm having a LOT of bad reports, and people who normally kill turkeys are questioning me daily. Heck I'm questioning myself. I too am hunting Fayette, Marion, Winston, Lawrence......and seriously the very few birds I have heard have only gobbled a couple times and shut up, and were generally well over the property line. I got a good gobbling one morning but that rascal was so far off the property there wasn't much hope of me killing him. I've hunted every piece of ground I have permission to be on.
What's even more weird, is the people who are killing and hearing turkeys are doing it with seemingly very much ease. Some folks have said their birds are on fire. I haven't experienced that yet. Very unusual year.
