Heard 3 on the roost. They went silent at fly down. I repositioned to a transitional ridge on our 95+ acre property. It has been logged and they tend to travel that way. Eventually one fired up, and had two hens. I could see him through the trees on an opposite hill. I repositioned a little, and got stuck out in the open and just had to freeze in some very, very thin brush. He strutted at 50-60 yards for 30 minutes. The hens eventually drug him toward me. I was frozen still, sitting practically in the open for a while. He eventually slowly got to 33 yards. It was a fun hunt and he was a great meal.
