Hey fellas,
Third time turkey hunting in my life this morning. I was set up in good cover in the middle of a small "mountain" field. It was windy, rainy, and 48 degrees. I managed to call in a lone hen just after daylight. She was not vocal, and I did not hear ANY gobblers whatsoever. She did check out my B-mobile decoy.
I believe that she is nesting nearby in hemlocks near the field edge, based on what the landowner says about this hen's habits. The landowner heard a tom gobbling earlier this week about 100 yards across the field from where the hen nests.
I'm going out tomorrow and I'd like some advice on what to do. Many of my buddies are complaining that toms are not talking back as much this year. Should I try hanging out in the same place? Should I chase after the hen if I see her again? The are is VERY rugged and mountainous.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
