Casey Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have been really bustin my butt and hunting hard of late, but man those Easterns are just whoopin my butt. I got up from sitting down under a cedar tree, got up to move my decoy and my set up. Got down off the hill, picked up the decoy and shot out a cluck or two. Boom a gobble, it happened so quick I had no idea where it came from. Got out my slate call and let it scream, cluck cluck, a little purring....this time a gobble about 100 yrds behind him. Another series of seductive purrs, two gobblers answered back. I set my decoy back onto the logging road and sat back down. A couple more series of calling and nothing..... they never answered back. From 3:10pm to 8:20pm no more gobbles. I thought they would gobble after they went on roost, but nope. Did go out with a buddy and roost one though on another piece of property.

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 the birds have been giving me the run around as well... didn't even hear a gobble this morning. I think a lot of mushroom hunters have been in the woods getting the birds all stirred up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
