Though I have killed birds in the afternoon, typically choose to leave them alone so they can loaf, feed, rest, nest, and generally do their turkey-thing undisturbed. Work commitments due to COVID19 will likely cut my season way short so figured better make the best of what little time I have.
Sat down in in timbered finger that juts out into a field such that I can see both openings real well, called, and thought I heard (because of the wind) the faintest of gobbles. 15 minutes later, called again, and a little while after setting the box down here came the 3 amigos...they had 6-8 hens Saturday and weren't about to leave their girls. Today though they were henless so I'd say laying is WELL underway; perhaps some setting by now.
