Re: Quiet in here
had one in sights at 7:15 Saturday am... @30yds shot him and he flopped then off he went never to be seen again. I shot my mossberg 835 about 8 times yesterday trying to figure out what happened and the damn thing is actually shooting about 8'' high at around 30yds. My best guess is i only clipped him with the lower strays from my main center pattern...
I was pissed...

Re: Quiet in here
Struck one up Saturday morning from a road about 8:30. By the way he was moving I thought I knew what was going to happen and it did. Tried to get as far off the road as possible and call him straight to me and instead he did as I expected and walked out in the road, saw my truck and eased off.
Went back in Saturday morning and got on three that were burnign it up like it was April. They flew down to about 20 hens and I spent the morning chasing, trying to head them off. No luck.
All in all a great first weekend albeit a kill.

Re: Quiet in here
Lock jaw were I was. Heard slim reports from lots of places. Not much gobbling yet from what I've gathered.

Re: Quiet in here
Birds in gun range Saturday and Sunday morning early right off the limb and then silence and henned up rest of day, neither set could get shots on camera...would've killed both sets if not filming.
My observation on that property (in Adams Co)...birds weren't really ready and the ones that were had EVERY hen in the area. I watched couple different longbeards roaming alone just feeding, no strutting no responding...then I watch couple others strut for 5-6 hours with about 20 hens in a 50 acre field. In both cases, gobbled half dozen time in tree and once or twice on ground and zilch rest of day...not real exciting hunting this weekend after about 7:15 am.

Nice one!
Re: Quiet in here
Only been once. Weather has been bleak. I am hoping this weekend, they turn it on. I will take clear, cold and calm over warm, windy and rainy any day.
