I went out Sunday for the last hurrah hoping to land a big tom. Sat in the same spot where I'd have them roosting, or roosting nearby the previous 3 times. Not a single gobble for 2 hours. I get up and head west towards the field. about 100 yards from the field I see a bird. I sit down real quick and hear this hen going nuts clucking and yelping. I army crawl to get in a good spot. She doesn't see me. There is no better decoy or call then a real live hen. She continues north of me heading east. I'm just waiting for the males to appear. nothing. couldn't believe it. Tough morning to call. Very windy.

 

I did have a cool experience though. I almost always see deer every morning, but this morning I had 3 bucks all with about 3 to 5" nubs on their head walk right by me. a 1 year old got about 10 yards in front of me. then started freaking out at my decoys. The two 2 year olds look like they'll be nice deer this fall. It's funny how even downwind of me without me taking any care of my scent that they just don't care in the spring. later in the fields I had a big mature doe walking right towards me and not until she was about 7 yards away did she see me.

 

guns cleaned, cammo's washed. A good spring, but not great.
