Well, season is officially over here in Ohio. I ended up shooting a jake on friday about 11 am after 5 hours of futility (no birds talking up to that point). We hunted all morning saturday, and didn't so much as hear one gobble on the property. We did manage to call in a couple of coyotes, but they saw us about 20 yards out of reasonable shotgun range and split. This is easily the worst season I've seen so far. The birds were extremely call-shy, and IF they were gobbling before we tried to call 'em, they weren't after we started. Just got lucky and stubled onto a group of jakes as we were working out on friday. Hope all of you have a better season than I did (although I was thrilled to get a bird).
