I hunt out near Weatherford, in Wa****a county, and they were not answering or coming in the least bit the first day or two of season. I got my first bird of the season by intercepting them on the way to the roost in the evening. The second bird was just two days later and he came in to calls. I didn't expect him to becuase of the way the birds had been the few days before that - not answering and not coming and not caring, basically. He came in strutting, though, so I tagged him.
