Well, we kicked off the season this morning here in Alabama. Me and bamabuck27 went out and had a couple gobble at the first hoot I made. We thought oh yeah, this is going to be good. We got set up and did some light calling. There were 3 gobblers to our backs and a field to our front where they were "supposed" to fly down to. Well, after flydown time, there was never another gobble all morning. After setting for about an hour and a half, our behinds getting numb, we decided to move and try to figure out where they'd went. Well, this turned out to be our mistake. It would have worked great if only one of us had of went to the other location and started calling. After moving down a hill to another opening, and trying some locating yelps we decided to go to another area all together. When we turned to go back to the club road, a nice gobbler took off about 35yds from us. We both looked at each other and shook our heads and laughed at our impatience and decided to chalk it up to experience. Anyway, it was fun and it sure was good to here those birds gobbling on opening morning no less.

After all, if you were successful every time you went, it wouldn't be as addicting.
