[QUOTE="Bgoodman30, post: 5877466, member: 18480"] Little man and I arrived at 6 am Friday and heard 2-3 birds on the roost. After 7 am silence not another gobble for the rest of the day. Lot of boots on the ground in a pretty good looking spot I found on the map. We set camp close by to hope to hold our spot. Opening morning listen for roosted bird and nothing but hear one about 600 yards away next ridge over. Heard another one in vicinity. Move on it and get set up about fly down time. No response to calls and zero ground gobbling. Finally get one gobble and he has moved 200 yards to south. About that time in that direction boom... He gobbles again and it wasn't him so we make our move. Get closer call and he answers at about 150 yards. Get set up and he is still drifting south.. With a 2pm baseball game I knew we better stay in his bubble and couldn't wait him out which may have been my tactic alone. We move another 100 yards looking for setup and boom... Silence.. Went for 3.5 mile walk and not another peep. Only 2-3 birds heard in 2 days and they wont be gobbling again. Plenty of hog and predator tracks and only one turkey tract. Lots of pressure I have hunted much smaller spots and rarely had a bird shot out from under me.. The boy and I still had fun camping and exploring though. [/QUOTE]
