The one about 9:30 a.m is so true, I've many a bird between 10:00: and 2:00 p.m. I carry a sack chair with me and leave it in the truck. If nothing is happening, I eventually go back to the truck, get my chair and thermos and just sit and listen. You will be amazed at what you hear. Personally, I believe when the hens go to nesting and leave him, and he starts gobbling during the middle of the day, this is the easeast bird to kill. Some times it pays to shut up and listen.
