Week 3 Day 1

On Monday, Grant and I turned our attention to a new location in the hope of getting a turkey. We headed out to a private property in Gates Mills off of River Road. We trekked up the hill in the back of the property to get to the wooded area and set up our blind in a flat area. We spent the morning and early afternoon calling, and this time we did get some responses! However, most of these responses were from the dogs that lived at the house where we were. There were some noises that we thought could have been from turkeys; a few could-be yelps and some really weird noises that sounded like rumbling or whirring. I had been told by the owner of the property that there were many turkeys who frequented the yard, but we didn't see any. I asked the owner and she said that there are many turkeys but they usually can be found across River Road near the Chagrin River or across Sherman Road on the other side of the property. It is getting very frustrating not seeing anything, but we still think we can get a turkey.

  1. Zack, I'm noticing a trend in your posts that patience is vital when hunting. It must be incredibly aggravating not finding any traces of turkeys but I know you're learning that you have to be incredibly patient and can't afford to be frustrated. I know if you keep trying you'll eventually bag that turkey!
