[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5609546, member: 2805"] Mixed feelings... The quality of the hunt was as I expected... simply unreal. I've called in 12 toms into shotgun range so far. I'm being REALLY picky with tag no 2, so just calling birds in and passing them up looking for a certain bird. If I don't get him and eat the 2nd tag, I'm fine with it. The downside... its almost TOO easy. I'm used to calling to winter subflocks on opening weekend with them gobbling back, but with zero intention of coming to a call. The past 3 days, they have been racing to the call, as many hens have been bred and are broken off the main flock and there are some very lonely lovesick gobblers out there. In fact, I've probably seen more male birds than females past 3 days. It does make me feel better seeing firsthand how many more hens have been bred by the time the slaughter begins this year vs years past. [/QUOTE]
