Turkeys a lot Gordo Nothin!

I am pretty sure I worked harder last weekend then any other turkey hunter in America, and I have nothing to show for it. NOT EVEN ONE GOBBLE. I did see two hens which has been par for the course for this season. One of the things that I love about turkey hunting is that it is so difficult to call in a spring tom. I think my average is about 1 bird every 3 years and I hunt every chance that I get which is usually every weekend of the season at least. Usually though I at least get to talk to the birds and end up getting outsmarted. This year however I had a couple homosexual interactions with some hens but did not have one gobbler talk to me. Conclusion: hunting on public land sucks!! There were so many gapers in the woods this last weekend I was more worried about getting shot than I was about shooting something. As a result I ended up hiking from lewis creek trail head all the way over adobe peak which ended up being about a 6 hour round trip(4-5 miles, 3000 feet vertical??) on no breakfast and not enough water. I was seeing spots when I finally got back to the truck. NOte to self never ever hunt public land on memorial day weekend again. Did get some good advice from some locals I trust on places to go next year. Also I am more motivated than ever to work my butt off and get rich so I can hunt on my own property in the future.
