My week long break is over and my father, brother, and I went out this morning to where my father had taken one about a week and a half ago. Conditions weren't great. Constant, drizzly rain and a high temperature of about 62 degrees. We heard a few gobbles off the roost (probably two or three different birds). That was it and that was all.

I've talked to many hunters over the past week and I have the overall assumption that the turkeys are just now starting to respond good to calling. Action was about two weeks later than normal this spring. I'm guessing because of the cold weather we've had all up until the last three or four weeks. I will hopefully be missing some days of class and return to the woods some this week. The 10-day forecast doesn't look great weatherwise, but I'll see if I can manage.

I've killed at least one turkey for the last four years and I'm hoping the streak doesn't end this season. My father has killed one the last three years (including this season). My brother hasn't bagged one in three seasons.
