I have heard the drumming from good distances but I dont believe that it was 75 yrds. There is one particular spot that I like to hunt here in Idaho that is a long way back in. I will go in the night before and sleep in my bag along a log on the ground. In the early morning hours before sun up. I can here the birds drumming on the small ridge in front of me at about 50 yards.. What a way to start the day. My goal every year is to shoot one from my sleeping bag. That drumming is what really gets me going because I know that he is almost within range.
