MossySNPR Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Well heres my morn. Me n my paps drivin around lookin to see if the turks are moving. We see a lone jake 150 yards down a field, he runs. Just north, we see a hen crossing the road in the pole timber. We get to my field, and in the middle there is 4 hens plus a strutting tom. I try to sneak down the logging road right beside the field and hes hitting me but then they spook. Moving to a new spot 4 hours later, I scare a jake and he books it right in front of me, using my bow so I can't get a shot off. Question: When you spook a tom, depending on how far he runs, is it possible he might stop and come back to your calls? Or is he gone for good most of the time? Question: Should I have walked down the logging road one over from the one I walked down? I can't help but think they either saw me or heard me. But, I couldn't see them so I don't know hwo they could see me (thick bush between field and road) . They were about...25 yards through some bush and 60 yards out into the field.

redbeard Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: My Morning(Not long + Question) They forget soon after. The best solution is to stop, let him calm down and try to get in front of him. Use soft calling after spookin a bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHuntinPastor Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Re: My Morning(Not long + Question) It's amazing what they can see. They will pick up any movement. At least it sounds like you have lotsa birds around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
