That's how it works

[catman529]

Hunted public land 9am-2pm, changing spots, listening, calling. Heard one gobble the entire time. Had to call between gusts of wind. Tried to sneak on 2 red heads in a field, got busted, unknown if they were jakes or toms.

Drove home and was getting ready for a 15 minute nap before work. Looked out in the back pasture and there's 2 longbeards with a bunch of hens. Just watched them and decided to leave them for another day...don't you love how it works

Those birds should be scared with you around.

Nah. I'm waiting for a mean boss bird so I can try that fanning deal for once. Like to hunt some of my old public honey holes too which is why I haven't gone after the backyard birds yet this year.

Same deal here. Hunted all afternoon, heard one gobble and on the drive home had a tom almost fly into my vehicle on a backroad. Gotta love it!

That can be aggravating! On a couple of occasions I've hunted hard all day only to drive out and have a bird roosting in a tree over the road... both times at Anderson Tully.

Where's this back pasture exactly?
