I'm still new to turkey hunting and i have been hunting hardwoods but the hunting pressure has been pretty heavy this year. There is a 4000 acre creek bottom piece of public that gets flooded for the duck hunters by me. parts of it is dry and other parts are submerged. So far according to the hunters toolbox only 1 turkey has been killed out of this swamp this year. last year 3 were killed, and 2 were killed the year before that so obviously there are birds in it. It is surrounded on all sides by ag fields too which is good for the turkeys. The season is getting late and im getting nervous only having killed one jake in the first week. Should I still try and hunt Natchez trace and just push deeper in the areas I think have birds or just have fun, bring out the chest waders/jon boat and explore new unpressured areas and hope for the best. So far i've turkey hunted 2 years now and have one longbeard from least year and a jake from this year which doesn't feel too bad for a beginner and it seems like turkeys are on the verge of extinction from reading around here.
