If i asked if i heard a gobble and this is when i had spots - man its a tuff season - been so long since i worked a bird - or i heard one gobble one time way across the line

Its how u survive. But now my spots usually suck so bad - i dont hav to give vague answers 🤣🤣. I did get to work about 5 birds last year in bama - 3 of them got shot so it was great year for me. For multiple years now i had stretches where i heard zip on my land for about 20 straight hunts



That’s #3 on the turkey hunting commandments.

#1. Never let a dead turkey walk off no matter whose feelings it may hurt.
#2 Don’t spook the turkey.
#3 I ain’t heard nothing and I ain’t see nothing…..not even a track.
