Tony,
Sorry to hear that you still haven't had any luck yet
with starting your martin colony,

but don't give up hope
your day will come.
As for myself i have one ASY male back, this makes the third
year for him to be at my place

he goes to the same gourd
every year I'm very thankful for him hope he will find a female
again this year. But it sure is tough for me to build my colony
to more than one pair a year but don't get me wrong, I am
very thinkful to have him.
As for turkey hunting, you had better get after them, the season
is way to short. I have been chaseing the longbeards all most
every day of our season so for, I still don't have a thanksgiving
turkey yet

Good luck to you with your martin season, and also on chasing
those thundering toms
