RE: Leaving for the Youth Hunt here in PA
Well today the Youth hunt didnt leave me fairing ne better then usual at the farm. In the morning i setup on a field and had 5 birds gobbling surrounding it , did some light calling , but nothing showed... decided to move at like 9 , and did see one bird take off flying in a field seperate from the one i was in , about 400-500 yards away.there was little gobbling here after flydown!
Next i tried another farm , the one that i have been posting that the birds r just too smart, well it was now about 10AM and i walked down over the hill , thats when i heard a roaring gobble , followed by 3 more , all spread out. i had 2 birds up high in a huge field ontop of a ridge , one in a creek bottom opposite to me, and one down the valley that sounded pretty far. well i called lightly for the remainder of the hunt with no response to hen calls , but everytime a crow or chicken would CAW , the gobblers would all go nuts , but the day wasnt a total waste , i did call a young hen into about 30 yards , and watched her feed until 1145 before she went on her merry way.
I just have no idea how to hunt these birds , they have tooooooo many tricks under thier wing, so i might jsut give up on em , and hunt new places.
