4 hunts, Goose egg on the gobbles so far and have not seen a Bird yet ... till today. On my way out(Driving) about 3/4 mile away at 10:00 I saw close to 20 hens and massive Tom in full strut following a creek near the same ridge I hunt... any Ideas?
What part of the county? Every place I have hunted here they gobble like crazy on the roost, then turn silent. They are still grouped up for the most par too...likely why you are not having any luck.
Maybe I have been getting in late but, I used to go in hour and a half before sunrise... so far this year maybe an hour or so.. still seems like im in early enough
Unless they are roosting right where you go in, you should still hear them. I am actually planning to go to a farm off Hwy 13 in the am, right across the Houston Co line...so I will either share your experience or be hunting where they are all at!
