That's what I've seen with the boys in GA. They run the birds down. I'm not a turkey hunter and if I do, just sit on a travel route and wait for one to show up. Can't hear them to call. starting to seem like the hunting game is for the young aggressive guys. I wear hearing aids too but use the Howard Leight electronic ear muffs for listening especially at sunrise. Heard one this morning which ended up being just over 1/2 mile away. He was going off enough to allow me to get about 100 yards from him and set up. THEN he shut up. Clear cool calm mornings are great for hearing. No matter what electronics I use, I still cant hear as good as most. But when it all comes together and you get one gobbling on his way in......Mmmmmmm....its magical. Dont give up.... Even with my hearing aids in, your normal hearing is better than mine. I never caught the turkey fever. it's okay, plenty of fishing to be done this time of year. For hunting ducks (and upland birds) really do it for me. Same challenges tho - too many guys competing for the same critters. Deer is okay, gonna pull a few tags this year. Need to scout a bit more and get further away from folks. Should get 1 or 2.

Guy at work went to one of them lakes down south and set up where he usually hunts. He said all the camp sites were taken and that when he went to his "spot", he came out and folks everywhere shining flashlights, but like 200+ yards. Then just before light here comes a guy who sets up 50 yards away, basically told him it's public land eff off. Another guy I know had quota permit and found multiple noisy birds the evenings during the week before the season, said he had 6 gobbling night before. Did the early morning rush and there were 2 or 3 guys on every bird. Do you guys all have to deal with this crap or is it that these fellows are hunting easy access areas? Starting to seem more like duck hunting. Well its been a while since I (seriously) chased turkeys in a WMA. Never had an issue with another hunter. But that’s also possibly due to me hunting hard to reach spots that I discovered during the fall. Fall is always the best time to find turkey roosts as they generally seem more vocal and daylight and dark then. I’ve had more issues on my own private lands with trespassers who chase every gobble they hear and cross all fences to get to it. its a combination of fwc having most quota hunts on a sat sun mon schedule , then just hunters not willing to get off the beaten path even the ebikers all end up at the end of the same trails. sat and sun hunts then wed and thur hunts would fix part of the problem, if your waiting 3 or more years to turkey hunt a wma pretty sure most guys are willing to hunt mid week. i believe fwc does it this way to manage hunters not the turkey.
