went and listened again this morning. our season starts tomorrow. i did hear a few hens where i heard the gobbler yesterday. it was bad foggy this morning and a little after daylight some yahoo stopped at the creek and did a 5 minute long sick hen call on a box call. of coarse we didn't hear a answer. if he shows up tomorrow i'm going to blow the tops out of some pines. there is no way i would stop and call so close to someone else. he drove past me about 100 yards and started his noise. public land-go figure................tony
