went out this AM and had a thunderstorm roll in about 5:AM no rain just thunder. Wild stuff, every time it thundered the birds gobbled. I set up about 150 yd from some gobblers that were roosted and sat tight. I made some light tree yelps around 5:40 and could tell the gobblers did not have any hens with them by the way they were gobbling. i attended a turkey seminar a while back and the turkey outfitter/wildlife biologist said a gobbler on roost that is without hens will gobbler in all 4 compass direction (N.E,W.S) in attempt to cover the area. he said that is a turkey that is easier to call in and kill. Well he was almost right. I called a long beard but he hung up 50-60 out and would not come any closer. He was slightly about me and I could see him but no shot opps. What a fun time watching him strut is stuff and gobble his head off. All he had to do was come all little closer, oh well I had a blast but not a shotgun blast. LOL
