[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 4596139, member: 10006"] Yesterday morning had 3 or 4 gobblers and a bunch of hens raising Cain 150 yards out...couldn't get any closer as the timber is just way too open right now. They all pitched down and went thataway and I see a bird glide down 90 yards or so and head my way. Ol' Hopalong (to mega's earlier point might have gotten whooped recently and still on the mend) started hopping my way with his beard bouncing off his chest with every hop. Had never made a peep on the limb but neither had yet ANOTHER hen that I neither saw nor heard until she clucked real soft a few times and there went Ol'Hopaling. She got between him and me and that was that. Honestly, I don't get too terribly frustrated battling hens early in the season; they'll get right soon enough. Catch 22 I guess, but all my habitat work has created this situation...I got turkeys out the ying yang these days. Lots of gobblers but lots of hens too beats the heck out of the alternative.
