I am sure any turkey hunter who has hunted a few years has had similar experiences. Turkey hunting can be frustrating. It is one of the most challenging types of hunting. I have had the opportunity to be successful. No matter how many gadgets or calls you have, the turkey can still get away from you.
Persistence is important to a good turkey hunter.
Spending as much time in the woods as you can, even after bad days or in bad weather, will increase your chances. I was not successful this year, but I saw so many turkeys and had some close encounters. That will definitely make me get back out in the woods next year. Just remember, if you had a bad season like mine, it is not the kill that makes the hunt but the hunt that makes the kill. Until next time take care.
