Way to far to ever take a shot at, for me,but they did hear it. they came up on top of the pile and just sat tight. Just a matter of time, once it gets good, and cold they will come in for a shot. a couple years ago I called a old three legged dog up to about a half mile away, three, or four times. Never got a shot, until I was rattleing that same year, and he came in to that. It was his last year!!
