I am surrounded by wilderness living here in the Kootenai National forest and the birds were very vocal about three weeks ago around the kabin here but it snowed this weekend and getting a response has been a lot of work, but not impossible. Sunday morning maw squaw bumped one as I was calling one in for her for about an hour and she was caught, busted big time. My day today was no diff, as I went out to different spots and called and after a while I got a response but it sounded like a dang hen making the same calls that I was making but after heading up the ridge and setting up I had two toms and hens coming in on me, the toms looked big but they were strutten with their heads just as blue and red as could be and when their doing this, size is deseving (sp?) and they only supported beards of about 3". I really didn't think they were very big. There is some toms here that I have seen that are so big, they walk on there own beards, so I am being kinda choosey for the moment, but come the last week I won't be. Good Luck, Bobby
