I would expect him back, first morning of Mo season my son missed a jake out of a flock, called them back in and i knocked down the strutter. Sick to my stomach causeI thought I crippled a bird, 30 minutes later he was strutting and gobbling again. He didn't want to play for the third time. BUT he has been in the same field with all of his hens ever since. My job wont let me hunt till the weekends, but I know he has been there for 3 weeks. Hes got a funky looking beard, thick and curvy, so i know its the same bird. Keep after him
