Why did the birds clam up
Well, it is opening day and I was pumped.. I was at my hunting spot befor day break. i set up in a field that i have seen turkeys before. Well at a little after day break the forest went nuts. Hens and toms gobblin and cluckin.. I had some good gobbling back to my clucks and yelps. I thought i had one and he was about 20 yards out in the brush and movin in but he stopped and didnt come a bit closer. Well this went on until around 9 am and then the whole forest went silent. I couldnt raise a gobble or anything from any bird. It seems as though someone just turn off the lights...I stayed and hunted until 2 pm. but from about 9:30 am until i left i couldnt even get a shock gobble. any ideas would be helpful. Also would you have stayed and hunted like i did even though you couldnt get any response or would you have just packed it in earlier.
let me know,
