[QUOTE="Setterman, post: 4599634, member: 8139"] Your birds are locked down with hens. There's nothing more aggravating and frustrating. Honestly there isn't much you can do other than leave them be for a few weeks. After a few weeks the hens should start leaving. You'll be able to tell by an increase and duration of roost gobbling along with some ground gobbling. This signifies hens leaving during the day. When this happens hunt afternoons. If that doesn't work, get tight on the roost and many times they'll march right in. If this doesn't happen, give it another week and hang on when the hens are totally gone. It's easy pickings. My advice don't push too hard, do not spook them or press too hard right now. Hunt smart and back out if they get quiet. Don't bushwhack or try to ambush you'll only make it worse later [/QUOTE]
