Well got up to a place that, last year, was full of gobblers gobbling their heads off and this year, nuthin'.
<br>
<br>Arrived before dawn the first day and heard an owl, while gearing up and no gobble. Next day, big ole loud crow at 6:15 and no gobble. Needless to say, the slate did nuthin', too.
<br>
<br>My buddy did call in a few jakes to his decoys, came in silent and he dropped one.
<br>
<br>Talked to several hunters and not one could get a gobble in the AM or PM. Can't figure this one. Two or three weeks ago we had some really hot weather, then got unseasonably cold (?).
<br>
<br>Saw alot of lone hens throughout the day crossing roads and trails.
<br>
<br>So, I don't know if they will get active now or if they peaked already. I know I saw a bunch at Easter going crazy with all the struttin' and gobblin'.
<br>
<br>But, I'll tell you that jake tasted good! Good or better than any T'givin' tooky I ever had.
<br>
<br>Have to wait ' til the fall to join the club.
<br>
<br>Regards, sse
