Went out this morning with a buddy. Had a calling contest with a hen, think the gobbler was with her, she flew down and headed off the property. My buddy had football practice and had to leave at 7:30. I headed for the other farm, saw three in a bean field from the road. Set up and called, the hen came by at about eighty yards but the other two, one I know was a gobbler, never came by. Rain moved back in now, try again tomorrow.

I drove around for awhile after shooting mine and saw quite a few birds from the road. Only counted about 4 trucks in my whole area.
