Not a hunting story--but it really is mystifying the scarcity of turkeys here this spring--normally they are everywhere this time of year and I usually hear them in the woods gobbling up a storm. I suspect a spike in predator population maybe the cause--we have way too many does (which we are not allowed to hunt) and I see more bear and coyote signs than usual. It's still cold and rainy most of the time--oddly enough I did see a group of 4 turkeys cross the road near my house this morning in the miserable weather--that's all I've seen in the last week.
