Went out to a spot I have in Smith County just to see whats what. This spot is odd because about 6 years ago it was LOADED LOADED with turkeys. I mean nothing to hear and see 20-30 birds fly down into this bottom field each morning. It was wild and I loved going out there from time to time. However about 5 years ago all the sudden there was NONE, and I mean nothing. That went on for 2 more years, just didnt hear or see a bird out there all the sudden.

Then 2 years ago I finally went out there and heard 1 Tom and 1 Jake a few times. Then last year I went out and heard 3 toms over the season. Granted since they disappeared I never decided to actually "Hunt" it I just liked going out there to see what was going on a few times during the season.

Went out there morning and heard 2 toms up on the ridge but then a freaking GAGGLE of jakes walking by me. So it gives me hope that at some point, maybe next year, it might be huntable again. Also you cant see it in the video but 4 other jakes had already passed by me and 2 others were in the field right behind me

haha funny enough I was literally just leaning against a tree on my knees. I did have camo on but no face mask or gloves or anything. even just had a blue hat one. THey didnt seem to be to alarmed obviously. Granted it was pretty thick behind me but I was in no way SUPER camo'd up sitting there
 
Seriously, I hope they don't whip your gobblers. Could make for a quandary as the season progresses.

Interesting. I'm sure you were zoomed in a bit but you seem pretty close. They almost seem curious toward the end.

normally I would agree but due to the lack of toms out there in recent years I dont actually plan to harvest a bird out there this year unless I take my son or another kid thats never killed one before.
