I was a part of two classics hunts for the 14 birds taken. The rest came in strutting totally silent.
I did witness two good toms who where strutting and did gobble only to be attacked by 3 or more Jakes that came from no where! That right there will make them silent too! Those darn Jakes broke up to sure things I thought I had going. One bird was at 25 and I should have just pulled the trigger but I let it go.
My fault.....a costly one.
