Well my concerns about the breeding, being maybe right. Opening has come and gone with hearing only one bird gobbling on the roost. My usual first morning spot with another hunter set up in it. So plan "B". I hit four different spots on three different farms. Calling for a hour at each spot. Got one one to gobble but I knew he was on the wrong side of a deep gully going the wrong way. My last spt of the morning I chased two hens out the field and bumped two more birds. Set up anyway. Five minutes into a calling, this guy enters the field at the same place as I did. He strutted 400 yds. to the decoys, he didn't gobble once. I shot him at 17 yds.
