Last weekend i went out both mournings and could here probably 6 or 7 gobbling off the roost:D!! But every time the hens would fly down and the toms would go with them and i couldn't call to them. So, i went back out tuesday mourning and i decided to get there really early and walk accross this bottom were they were roosting around and flying down to. I was there about an hour before sunrise but i didn't want to take any chances of getting spotted walking through the open to a few trees down there. So i was set up and 6 hens flew down about 40 to 50 yards in front of me. Nothing better than live decoys huh? Then all of a sudden i seen 2 strutters off to my left watching these hens. It was just like a middle school dance. They were both jakes but i have two tags and if one came into range i was going to drop him. Sure enough one did and here are the results! Enjoy!
