[QUOTE="Vermin93, post: 3211314, member: 9526"] After losing 2 toms to a big group of hens early yesterday morning, I relocate to another ridge where I heard a mid-morning gobble. There was no fresh sign on the ridge and it just didn't feel right, but I stood next to a big oak and made a few calls. Got no response. Waited 10 minutes and took 5 steps and there they were coming up the ridge with a big gobbler in tow. They saw me bolted. Heard a gobbler sounding off and heading in the general direction of a small field about 9am this morning. High tailed it to the field and set up. Made some calls. No response. Waited 15 min this time. Sun wasn't on the field yet and I concluded he must have been heading elsewhere. Stood up, put my gun on my shoulder, took 3 steps and there he was. He went airborne quick and flew off into the woods. I run down the edge of the field and into the woods to flank him. Go about 50 yds in the woods, sat down and made some calls with a different call this time. Waited another 15 min and figured there was no way he was coming back. Stood up to head out, took 5 steps and there he was coming around the corner. This time he bolted up a big ridge and didn't look back. If I could exercise some patience this wouldn't be so frustrating. It is highly addicting, though. [/QUOTE]
