I been every day but two since March 19th. and only heard one gobble...yesterday morning. He gobbled one time way off and don't even know exactly which direction.
Called in two gobblers that came in quiet last wk..soon as I saw them..bout 40yds. to my left.. the lead bird saw my hen decoy and it weren't his type..did a 180 and booked it.. took his buddy with him. His buddy did give her one last over the shoulder look..when I clucked at him..but only a glance and was gone too. The hen decoy is now a pattern tester...and rightly so..just don't seem right to use decoys with a traditional flintlock anyway.
I did call in two otters..may be a clue to my callin ability..what's so bad is I tought my zoom was on and it wasn't..would have been a great picture if it had been. Could have counted their wiskers..only about 12yds. from me.
