[QUOTE="TLRanger, post: 3223600, member: 1609"] Went on the first quota - 9th & 10th - with two buddies. The first day I was on a gobbler that must have gobbled 50 times on the roost. I got within about 150 yards of him and could not get any closer because the woods were very open, absolutely no cover. After he flew down, he only gobbled two times as he was going away from me. I never called to him until he got on the ground but could not turn him around. Did not hear anything the rest of the day but did jump two seperate hens when coming out. Day two. Got back on the same bird or one roosted at the same place. He only gobbled about 10 times before going lockjaw. I have no idea where he went. I set up near his roost and called every 30 mins or so. Big yote came right in. He is still laying there. The other guys were on several the first day but didn't close the deal. They said very few gobbles after fly down. The second day, they only heard one gobble in the distance. Tried to close but he shut down before they got there. Should be much better conditions next week when I go back. Definitely have more ground cover and the hens should be sneaking off to nest. Usually do real good around noon when this happens. [/QUOTE]
