    I didn’t do any good. But I saw a lot of birds. I’m wondering if the cold spring didn’t push back the start of them breeding cause there was hens all over the place. How do you out call a living hen? And my decoys didn’t even stand a chance! Lol. I saw gobblers every time I was out. They were with hens each time.

    I heard that here on NY, the DEC is saying that the very cold and wet springs are affecting the turkey population, and is more conducive to predators.

    Me too. Mississippi, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Saw no gobblers and heard few. Strange.
