But no Gobbler yet. They were there gobbling and chasing hens all over the field but I can't compete with live hens .The farmer started planting the field that I was in so the hens all moved off with the Gobblers in tow, they would stop and strut when I would call but kept going with the hens. Maybe tomorrow now that the farmer will be done with that field. I did have 3 Jakes come in and got some pics and video of the hanging out.

It seems like the stay grouped up longer now for some reason same issues here and WI a guy needs to find a hot lone gobbler to get any action.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

If you're young and spry enough then crawl towards them with a fan or full strut Tom decoy. Guaranteed you'll get one

Way to old for the crawling stuff. Looks fun, would have tried it back in the day.

If you're hunting public land or know somebody else is there. I'd never try this anywhere but my own property or where I knew someone else had access to
