They gobble off the roost, play the game for a while (half an hour or less) and then disappear. Today I heard 3 maybe 4 at dawn, called in two, got one so close at dawn I could see him in the dark timber (out of range), but he bounced. Couldn't seal the deal with either one, but what really had me scratching my head is where do they go during those invisible inaudible mid-morning hours? I see them mid to late afternoon either trying to get a fresh hen or at a food plot, but what about those hours in between.

I covered a ton of ground today from the tops of ridges to the bottoms and couldn't find anything but turds, scratched leaves, and tracks. Hunting 170,000 acre piece of public land called land between the lakes in western Kentucky.

Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks.
