Back to Turkey Camp

It is Sunday of Time-Change Weekend. I came out to the Honey Hole to listen–heard a small flock of hens and one gobbler sounding off just after sunrise. I figured I would take the time to write you all.

Angus and I got in late Friday night and opened up Turkey Camp. It was the first time back in 3 months. Angus has been sleeping in. I have been going out to hear what I can. Overall, I am heartened; I have had years with no turkey and deer sighted until April. With the weather we had, it is a wonder anything lived. The buildings are in fairly good shape as well.

Saturday, I went out to Gobbler’s Knob to scout turkeys. As I was fumbling at the gate, I saw a buck, still with antlers out in the field by Faulty Towers. He looked at me and ran off. On the way back, I ran into a doe standing next to the target backstop.

Both Saturday and Sunday I heard turkeys. They’re rather subdued, but I made out gobbles and fly-down cackles in the distance. There was not enough material to put together a podcast, but I’m sure in a week or two they will warm up enough to give us a show.
