I put in over 25 hours the first four days and still don’t have a bird. I’ve saw birds each outing just can’t quite close the deal. Didn’t hunt today due to being there for my wife to run the Indy mini this morning.

Didn’t hunt today due to being there for my wife to run the Indy mini this morning. I don’t want to think of the hours and miles and gas money spent so far on this season. Looking back through my journals from the last 15 or so years, I was reminded of some really quick hunts I’ve had in the past. The quickest Bird was 17 minutes after I left my vehicle. This year, we’ll thats another story. As we say, it is hunting! |

I hear ya there. Last year about 30 minutes into the season we had a double and season was over. Five of us killed longbeards by about 1 on opening day. It sure can’t be that easy every time.

This has been one of my best seasons ever. Youth weekend, I was in the blind with my son and watched him harvest a jake out of a group of three that I called in and we saw over 15 birds for the morning and heard no less than 10 gobblers that were close. Opening day, I harvested my bird at 1125 am after working several different birds earlier that morning. And finally, yesterday morning, 5/5, my daughter harvested her first bird, a Tom, that we called in for a picture perfect hunt of gobbling on the roost, flys down, comes to decoys on a string, and struts his way to the gun barrel. I am feeling very happy, very blessed, and very humble. Glad to be there with both my kids during this successful turkey season.

First year in Indiana and have not gotten one yet. I only get to hunt weekends and so far have only seen two on separate weekends. It seems like 2.5 weeks is pretty short to me, I'm used to Ohio where the season lasted a month.

I've been so busy that I've been tied up. Hope to get out starting this Wednesday.

Undated) - Indiana turkey hunters harvested more than 11,000 birds this spring.
The harvest of 11,304 turkeys is a 14 percent decrease from the 2017 spring harvest of 13,069, according to the Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife. The spring hunting season was held April 25 through May 13.
Nearly 59,000 hunters went out in search of a turkey this year with only a 19 percent success rate.
The DNR says annual statewide spring harvests have generally stabilized since the peak harvest of 13,742 in 2010.
