No Gobbling at all in my area of New York this morning.  Just a Hen Yelping high up in a Tree and in the Swamp.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't New Jersey start the season a week later this year

All the Turkeys are in DC. Time to hunt down there.

I took my dad out for this final day to try to get him at least to hear a turkey. Nope. We didn't hear anything either. Not a peep. It was slightly raining all morning - might have screwed up their pattern (if any were here in the first place -- public land on the last day of D period, gonna be tough regardless).

That's a wrap for the '22 turkey season.

Covered a lot of land this morning . Hitting 7 spots that usually produce .

didn’t hear a peep .

was a good season , and I’m ok with eating this tag .

will add it to the stuffing from the other turkeys to make it go down a little easier

Any thoughts on why you're not seeing birds in these spots? Have you seen an increase in predator activity?

The fox and coyote population by me just seems to be skyrocketing year after year.  I see fox almost daily and hear the 'yotes almost nightly.  I need to find some time to start predator hunting.  I used to see flocks of 40+ birds all over the mountain and on my land and now I just see a few at a time, and that's few and far between

Birds have been there . IMO  with most hens nesting the gobblers are spending more time gathering up .

seeing more Toms together now . So when they do come in there are a few . 
usually I do hear them gobbling at each other from the tree . But only would have heard that in the first spot .

few days ago there were 3 there banded up .

No Gobbling up in New York. I covered slowly mind you- a good 3 miles and " Cutt" on my Long Box.  I might go out 1 more Day- Sunday. Today was my 28th day of Turkey Hunting. It catches up with you.

Foggy morning. Quiet. Saw my first poults this morning.
