Hell of a deal j. I've been there hearing shots a little to close. In fact, I checked cams today and have a couple guys in turkey apparel walking out. This is the time when everyone thinks they can go wherever they want. Be careful out there. But my advice to you is this. Around here, and guys have been tellin me this for years but I'd still just try waiting and calling, but you have to be aggressive. The birds are getting established by seniority. They want to breed and they will fight to win that right. So make yourself seen. And get them ticked off at ya. Whether you rig up a string to your decoy and make them have motion or if you try the route I went. If you're running out of time to hunt then you have nothing to lose trying a different approach. If you have an idea, then try it and see what the outcome is. Put it in the memory bank for next time. Maybe try dressing up in a cow outfit and just walk out there (another true story. Couple guys made a wooden cow cutout out of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. They did get one but said it was to heavy and the wind played hell with them) Dont give up yet captain j!!

Looked at my calendar and it says "Phil from Maine Monday" so make it happen bud!!

I still have another permit so I'm not done yet but I am relieved that I got 1. So I can take it a little easier and hope for another one. I checked cams and the spot I've been sitting, well I've been there at the wrong time. I'll post up a couple pics in a little bit.
