RE: Team #7 "Strut Stoppers"
Slow opener today. Didn't hear them gobble on their own on my way in so I set up near where I heard them Saturday. I heard one gobbling in the distance, and I tried to bring him closer but no luck. I didn't want tomove on him too soon, so I gave him some time. When I felt sure he wasn't going to get closer, I decided to move on him. As soon as I stood up, I heard a shotcoming from his direction. I wondered if maybe someone else was working him?? anyway, that kinda bummed me out because I don't think there are a lot of birds on that property. I sat back down to think about my next moveand decided to stay put for a while. After a few minutes, I hear him gobbling again?? I moved and got a gobble or 2 from my new location, then nothing the rest of the morning. Turns out the shot I heard was the land owner popping a squirrel near his house... Weather is gonna be bad the next few days, so I'm gonna work tomorrow and play the weekend by ear.
