Monday, Birds were gobbling like crazy on the roost. they flew down and showed up at the other side of the field. I called to them, and they slowly made it halfway or so, then cut back into the thicket where they came from. Then they started gobbling just out of sight, they usually would have either come into the field, or through the woods, but not this time. They finally went off in the other direction.
Tuesday, it was cooler, and there wasn't all the gobbling the day before. I sat up where the birds had shown up before, but today, they were spread out in the river bottom and didn't have to much to say. However, there was 1 bird, behind me, that gobbled every couple minutes or so. He made his way from across a field and was 40 or 50 yards behind me and to my right.
Next thing I knew he was going away from me and was on my left shoulder. Oh well, it was exciting. Then to my surprise there he was, in the field I was on, stairing my decoy down. He made his way around, making a half circle staring at the decoys, gobbling and strutting. He never got closer, and eventually he disappeared into the brush.
I think I'm going to hit tomorrow seeing how the weather is looking thru Tuesday.
Good Luck
