RE: Quiet Tom Strategy Question
I hunt in only timber. Monday the birds were silent. The owls hootin', crows crowin', geese...lots of noise, no gobbles. I set up in an area that I scouted the week before that had lot's of fresh scratches, a dusting area, feathers, just lot's of sign. Sure enough about 7:30 a stuttin' gobbler walked in on me (no calling) with what I thought were two hens. I needed to turn to my right and I did when they got behind a brush pile. Unfortunately I didn't see the other two hens 15 feet behind them...who saw me turn and off they all putted....I had a quick shot but I deemed it unethical.
