Week 3 Day 2

Today I went out to Perry and met with my uncle and we hunted from 3:30 until sundown. We started on a property of one of his friends, where my uncle has seen turkeys cutting through before. He admitted that this place would be very hit or miss, but he only planned on having us stay there for about an hour. After we had seen nothing we drove to his fellow coach’s property that was in the Chardon area. Oddly enough it was actually very close to the public hunting area that we have gone to before, and the signs of turkey were great. My uncle pointed out turkey scratch to me which is made when a turkey calling for a mate it will push the leaves away with its wings leaving two patches of ground bare next to each other. There was plenty of turkey scratch back there and my uncle has seen the turkeys roost in the woods, so we set up in a nice spot and waited for the turkey. Again I saw nothing, but nature again worked against me as the winds were high and the temperatures dropped quickly as the sun fell.
