The gobblers have quieted down big time in my neck of the woods in NY too confused.gif. I can't blame them....they've really been hammered with hunting pressure for the past week. Hopefully people will start giving up soon, most of the hens will be nesting and the birds should get a little more vocal and cooperative. That's what I've been trying to tell myself at least...we've still got 3 weeks of season left in NY.

Opening day my brother got a jake, this past weekend dad also got a jake. Friday night I saw NINE long beards and a hen all together. The following morning my hunt got busted when the knucklehead set off his truck alarm. I believe this sent them gobbles over the mountain. But I dont want a jake, unless its the last day!

My problem has been time. I have been out both Saturdays & one week day morning. I have had birds working from roost each time. But they have shut up after hitting the ground.

I hope to change my luck Saturday. After that I will be out of town & may not get out more than once.

Where I'm hunting...they are still with alot of hens. smirk.gif Somedays they gobble alot...most days they shut up after coming off the roost. Been out every day but 1 and today seemed to be the best so far.

What I don't understand is...I had 3 long beards by themselves out in a field around 11am feeding. Had a decoy out....called, they just looked and kept moving along. Never gobbled or went into strut and I know they could see the decoy.

These stinkin' birds are starting to drive me nuts! grin.giftongue.gif
