I heard 3 different gobblers together on the roost, but they went the other way when they flew down. They were in the field and I was in the woods so I knew it was going to be tough to get them to come back to take a look at an unseen "hen".
They were shock gobbling at the crows but they wouldn't come to my calls so I moved through the woods to about where they were roosted and made one series of soft yelps. They responded imediately, but were still 100 yds. or so away (I still haven't seen them). I went silent and the next time I heard them they were about 50 yds. away, but just on the other side of the thick brush separating the woods and the field.
I tried to coax them into the woods for a look at the "hen", but they wouldn't come any further.
No bird, but it was a great turkey hunt!! Back out tomorrow...
