sweet!! yea, they are silent here too.. I haven't been able to get any to come in as of yet. I scouted 4 hens on Sat. and they were silent.. I set up opening day down in the stream bottom where they were and didn't hear a peep. This morning I tried the North side of the property where they are seen all the time in the fall. I saw everything but a turkey. Wood duck(playing in water by me), crows, geese, cranes, squirrel(almost stepped on my head), and 2 does who walked up on top of me.. The one doe didn't make a peep but watched as the other doe acted like a dog behind a fence. She ran back and forth for 20 minutes, huffing and puffing trying to get me to move.. It was a riot.
