My season doesnt start until April 25th, but this past weekend I went out to see if the birds had seperated yet. I brought my camera just incase something exciting happened. Boy, am I glad I did. A bunch of birds were gobbling nonstopover an hour after they had gotten off the roost, so I figured they were lonely and wanted to see what they were. One series of hen yelps andI have a hen from behind me pissed off and shes yacking back at me, and the gobblers are coming in on a b-line. Due to the hen behind me continuing to call, the gobblers made their way in to my location. It ended up being 6 jakes in a group. They came within 15 feet of where I was sitting. A few minutes later a gobbler from down over the hill made his way up to the hen calling as well. ANOTHER jake. I ended up seeing 7 jakes and the hen, and all of it was captured on film. It was a fun day, but I sure hope some longbeards are in the area.
