[QUOTE="nate17, post: 5878067, member: 7246"] We were there on the Tennessee side. First morning we only heard a 3 or 4 gobbles far off and I was toting around a 6 year old so I didn’t feel it was wise to attempt cover that amount of ground. We stayed in the area we started because several hens had flown down and were doing most of the work for us. We eventually walked up on a bird in full strut and I almost got him set up for a shot but was busted. Second day we went to a new area heard a few gobbles far off so we started covering some ground with the wind cooperating better than day 1. We struck a bird at 0930. Finally worked the group of birds which consisted of 2 strutters and 6 hens to 60 yards by 1100. There were at 60 yards for probably 20 minutes. One strutter split off and come to 35 but my boy couldn’t see him in the brush (I think he was probably locked on the other strutter which was in plain view at 60 yards). The hens eventually carried them down the ridge away from us. Killing a bird would have been icing on the cake for what was a great memory for me and my boy. We hiked a total of 4 miles on Sunday and built a little character for him in the process. [/QUOTE]
