[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5610495, member: 2805"] This morn, i went to a farm I haven't even hunted yet this year. Heard 1 from my listening spot 750y away. Hauled over there, got set up, and he crushed a single note bubble cluck. Waited a bit, gave a 3 note tree yelp, and I ended up being in the middle of 4 gobblers raising Cain within 100y of me. The original bird only gobbled 3 times on the limb, once on the ground at 40 yards just over the rise as he came to me, but never peeked iver that I saw. The second tom only gobbled twice all morning and followed a hen straight away. But holy cow, a duo of toms gobbled at me from 545 until I left at 10am.... at least 200 times. And they continued gobbling even after I flushed them away from me trying to focus on the big boy. Literally I flushed them into flight, they flew 400y away from me, then started gobbling all over again and came right back in. Had to flush them off a second time, and they KEPT gobbling... while the bird I wanted only gobbled one more time all morn, and the 4th bird never gobbled again all morn. They just all have different personalities. I haven't seen this much craziness since the early 2000s when TWRA trapped 60 hens off the farm next to me and left a tom to hen ratio of about 2:1.... That year you could fart and a tom would come running to the sound of it. [/QUOTE]
