For the NY opener we had atleast 7 different gobblers going, heard well over 35 gobbles, thing is, none gobbled after they hit the ground. are they just henned up real bad and not needing to gobble?

We worked one to us, only to have a stupid hen come from the other way and simply take him away, he was at about the 40 yard range, but my partner didnt want to shoot due to the deer defense he had surrounding him. Later in the morning, we busted those two apart, and called him in rather easily, only to have him see us (thought he was farther away, so tried moving closer and wham there he was!)...

Seems like they're just henned up real bad (I also talked to about 10 hens today, and had one fired right up only to have her puttin as she wandered off, they were more vocal on the ground than the gobblers!)....

your ideas?!
