buggy, by nesting I just mean laying. The landlord on whose land I hunt said the toms were really strutting hard and heavy a few weeks ago. Since then turkey activity has been scattered. I could be wrong - feel free to correct me - but when the hens go to lay, doesn't that mean less tom/hen activity, and harder hunting? And how do you see the difference between laying and setting on a nest? I'm asking as a relative newbie to turkey hunting.
I'm hunting in the Southwick area, and to my knowledge there hasn't been any real snow there for awhile. I didn't have much time to scout this year, so I don't have a great idea as to what stage the turkeys are in. I'm just reporting the hearsay from that landlord.
All I know is that I went out there today, and got a few gobbles responding, but couldn't quite lure them out of the deep dark woods.
