I've been out twice this week including this AM. I had either a caller or a pair of actual owls about 75 yards away this AM. About 4:30 they start hooting and must have hooted about 50 times in 15-20 minutes. No gobbles to that sound at all. I got out the glass pot call (note, complete rookie caller, it showed up Tuesday,lol) i hit the call softly about 5 times, bingo, gobble response right away. i put the call down. then there were what seemed like two gobblers for about 20 minutes maybe 75-100 yards through the woods. i responded once in that time. Then it seemed like the gobbles were going away, again, no more calling. Then I heard a bunch of calling from a hen, not sure what you call the sounds, I would say mostly clucks and cackles with a couple raspy yelps. These sounded closer and then a gobble that was fairly close. My first visual was at about 50 yards coiming from the woods into the corner of a field, white head, could not see the body because of a slight hump between us. Maybe 5 seconds and he(assumed a tom) was over the hump. Then a hen came in and walked past at 30 yards. i kept hearing gobbles but nothing close. I only had maybe 20 minutes left to hunt before work, so I called a bit (sounded like crap, lol). Low and behold that hen started clucking and came back to within 10 yards for about 15 minutes before she walked off. That was it, no more sounds or sights, and i hiked out and went to work. Fun morning, hope I can get out again this year, but a bunch of work to do, best chance to hunt will be tomorrow AM.
Later
