Good day, all

So I've been hunting private property for the last five seasons. This property is like a turkey goldmine; I've tagged out every year and I usually, in a 4-5 hour sit, have my choice of multiple, responsive toms. The largest group I have seen at once is near 30 birds with groups of 10-12 being common.

This year, it took me two sits to tag out and I did not see nearly as many birds, like 10 total, two toms. Thwre are no other hunters but there is a large population of coyotes, fox, bobcats, other predators.

My question is, should I let this property rest for a year or two? With so many toms taken over the past years, I am wondering if I am restructuring the flock too much.

I have access to public land but it is hard to make the switch with a 100% success rate. Also, as a hunter, I want to continue to hone my skills and this property does *not* require masterful skills or techniques.

I'm trying to be a good steward and looking for some pro opinions.

Thanks.

I am looking for a unique, vintage and/or artistic box call for display purposes. Budget is about $200. Anyone have any ideas? My calls are all "gamers" and wouldn't work. To give a better idea, this would be displayed with some vintage wooden duck decoys, a few walnut jewelry boxes I have made, etc. Best scenario, I could find something custom from a small, WI company.

Hints and thanks in advance!
