[QUOTE="Ocoee Ridge Runner, post: 4599598, member: 13341"] One area I have hunted for the last several years is a huge creek bottom surrounded by several hundred acres of hardwood ridges. Opening day I heard several gobblers on the roost who all went silent after flydown. I was able to to kill one mid-day after getting a hen fired up which got him to gobbling. Fast forward to the last few days and there has been very little gobbling. The last day I hunted this area there was no roost gobbling and on into the morning no answers to my calling. I also heard another hunter calling with no gobbling. Just when I started to think they may have moved out of the area an owl starts hooting around 11:30 and three different birds gobble. My questions are #1 why have these birds been silent all morning but gobble every time the owl hooted? #2 How would you go about hunting these birds? Opening weekend saw a lot of pressure with I’m sure a lot of aggressive calling. [/QUOTE]
