I hunt woods with cuttings up here every year.. They are a much harder to bird to hunt.. ( at least that is what we are told ) These birds will come in silent at times. One of my birds I hung tight for 2 and a half hours before he showed up.. No gobbling at all and it took another half hour to get him into shooting range. These are smart birds for the most part. But at times you will get a dumb one and he will gobble all the way into you. I find most the birds here move around between 11 and 2 .. Although we do see them and get them earlier in the morning with most of them right around 8 in the morning.. Good luck to you and let us know how you make out. But remember some are very tight lipped which maybe cause by coyotes? No idea really but it is they way some are..
