I don't think I'm even going out. Did it for a few years, didn't really grab me. it's only fun if they're responding to calls, and I don't eat that nasty crap/

Been out twice can get them gobble on the roost but once they hit the ground there silent. Its sucking so far. They arent interested in the calls at all.

Are most hens still with the toms or on nests? If on nests, try hunting toms like deer. If you know where they are going after the come off the roost, sit near the trail or destination within shooting distance. IF they are with hens, don't bother trying to call them away from the hens, only jakes may come most times. Sit on the edge of a field with a hen and tom decoy in mating position and call every 15 minutes in the afternoon. You may get a tom cruising after th morning mating is over. The way our seasons are, I would only be able to hunt once or twice with work. I hate the late season. If I had good private property I'd get out there though. I love turkey hunting and miss it.

Piss of the hens and they'll come to you bringing in the tom... Most guys try to call in the toms, learn to call in the hens and you wont have any problems killing your spring bird! Getting ready to get after em monday mornin. Dad and the fiance both have tags.

Good luck. Ever try 2 diaphragm calls in your mouth tucking one in your cheek rotating them while using a slate to sound like 3 hens?

Had 2 jakes fly right into our laps this am. Put on a show gobbling and strutting 10 yards away for about 15 minutes. Was fun to watch but dad don't want a jake. Yes I have splash. I always try to sound like as many hens as possible. Each side of the diaphragm has a differnt tone to it also. Clear and raspy, high and low pitch. Plus I always have 2 slate calls sitting next to me. I really have my best luck imitating the boss hen tho, she gets the whole group riled up and after a few minutes of imitating her, here she and her boyfriend come. Got a cool video from last year, was imitating and interrupting a boss hen, worked on her for about 20 minutes and she couldn't take it no more. Here her and tommy came and shot the Tom at 20 yards and she was about 5 feet from me

dad shot one last week wednesday.. Called those same 2 jakes in 3 differnt times and we finally had enough of it! THey came in on a string, gobbling like crazy, on a warm foggy morning. Dad put the hammer to em and we were back to the truck at 730 am. I havent been out since monday am, really really busy at work and aint had time to hunt. Go a couple picked out for saturday morning im goin after, then trying to get the fiance tagged out sunday am.
