[QUOTE="X-Tennessean, post: 5080968, member: 7181"] My nephew and I hunted different farms and I was fortunate to get it done early opening morning. 10" beard, 7/8" & 1" spurs He had 5-6 birds gobbling hard on the limb and had 2 long beards following a hen come to about 70 yards just look and then turn and walk off!! He had a hen decoy out but said they prob couldnt see it the direction they came from and later had 8 jakes pestering him for 45 minutes before finally leaving. I went back with him yesterday evening, we put out a strutter decoy with the hen and at 4 o'clock they gobbled a long ways off so I started calling.....40 or so gobbles and an hour later they are staring at deeks 70 yards out again and just walk off!! Never making a sound again... We sat up were they crossed both times previously this morning and had gobbles all around but nothing very close, had 2 birds hammering to the North and I figured it was them. Sure enough about 8 o'clock 3 jakes walk right by followed by 2 hens with the mouthy dudes trailing. They skirt us again around the 70-80 yard mark, stop stretch out looking and turn and go back the direction they came from gobbling periodically calling the hens back to them..... What gives? Lol Been a great weekend either way!! Congrats to all the rest of you. [/QUOTE]
