Does anyone feel like the Woods are thicker this year? I had 2 toms strutting the other day at 60 yards, and could Hadley see them. I will be out of the woods till Monday morning as I have to work and get a few things done at work, then Iam good to go for a Few Days. I also have a Funeral to attend Saturday, Lost a Cousin. Back to Turkey Hunting, I threw every call I know at these Birds Wed am, And they just wouldn't come in any closer. But other than that I really enjoyed the Day, seeing Birds and Having them Gobble is way Cool, and if that doesn't get the Blood flowing You must be a Robot? I have a Good Idea as where I want to set up Monday, I think where the Birds were is there Comfort zone. So I just need to Get in the Zone.

I know they are in the southern part of the state. Fields are a good 10" taller than normal. Season is far too late in the southern part of the state. We had a crazy late winter/early spring and everything grew like crazy. birds do not seem to be responding well. They seem to sound off OK but they seem more stubborn than normal and will not come in. Since I do not want to get shot by the morons out there shooting people, I stay put. So, these late season stubborn gobblers are getting under my skin. Plus, did I mention, the season is too late here.

The woods and fields are flat full.
Third day of hunting - Heard my first gobbler this morning. He hit it for about 45 minutes and then shut up.
Hunting the edge of a field I saw 6 birds... 3 longbeards, 1 jake and 2 unknowns, The unknowns were real early at 250 or so yards.
None acted like they were interested in my calls. Gave me a complex....

Keep at it, at least you guys are seeing them.
I noticed it being a little more leafy, but I can still see pretty far through the woods. The fields have already been sprayed apparently where I am because there are no weeds up at all.

I think its at least 3 or 4 weeks ahead of schedule regarding the green up. I called in a bird for my brother today at 30 yards and he couldn't get a shot. To much green foliage that wouldn't have been there on a normal year.

Woods are much thicker this time of year than they were last. Luckily the birds I've seen/called to have been in open fields that were worked last fall and sprayed earlier this year so the weeds are not a concern at the moment. I think it's keeping them out of their usual hay/clover fields around my place because they can't see either; so a plus for me as well.

The woods are always very thick, and green in Southern Indiana, by the time Turkey season opens.
But, yes it is a little bit greener and thicker than normal. The grass in the local farm fields is nearly waist high, you can only see the tops of the Turkeys heads when they walk through the fields in my area.
Corn is already growing a few inches tall here in my home county.
