5 or 6 Tom's in area. Me and slumlord have seen over past 3 or 4 weeks. All gobbling their heads off yesterday morning till around 715. Had 4 hens around the dekes for about 30 35 mins around 8 to 830. 1 Tom gobbling about 125 yd out closing distance. He shut down about 65 70 yds out Didn't have eyes on him.
I wasn't calling just letting the hens talk. All of a sudden hens focus are looking my way.
Tom was about 15 yds behind me. Sumbytch pr9bably all fanned out behind. Tried to super slow turn head to get a look at him
I got pegged needless to say and he hauled azz.
Set up little different this morning.
Birds are absolutely silent this morning. Yesterday it was like 44° at dawn It is 62° right now. 0 wind dead calm...
I ain't made a call yet. Not gonna till I hear hens or a Tom.
