Not Yet

[JRA]

Went this morning to one of my spots I haven't hunted yet. Got on a ridge top/acorn flat about 100yards from 2 birds gobbling on the roost. They sounded off 50-75 times. I let out some soft calls. First bird flew down into the valley below at 6:20. Second bird flew straight down at 6:50 and headed down the ridge in the opposite direction. I was going to pursue him but got pinned down by 3 jakes and what were either 2 hens or 2 more jakes.

I had to leave for work but I hit the valley before I left and called up a jake. Going back in the morning. I am contemplating setting up in the valley to try to catch them flying down. May put out a decoy. I was disappointed they didn't come my way off the roost...my calling must not have enticed them.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I bet they came after you left, ha.ha.. sometimes our schedules don't match up.

Haha...maybe.
They flew down the opposite direction and gobbled in the distance.
My hen call must have sounded like she was ugly.

I better be careful then...a lot of these guys around here would shoot me...

others would hold me in such high honor that I would start to think I was a deity.
