so opening morning about 8:30 my first season we had a gobbler talking his head off to us, would not come to us. yelp, cut, purr, fighting purr, blah blah blah. nothing.
we were on a small ridge with a narrow draw-clearing then an uphill with some thicck brush and a meadow behind it. we thought he was in the meadow. about 30 min. into our calling him, we heard hens yelping, never saw any of them. about an hour in, he just shut up.
any ideas or did he just have enolugh ladies with him he wasn't gonna go anywhere??
tagged out on day 2 so it really doesn't matter this year, just curious what i should have done. you guys are the experts.
