RE: Shut out in Missouri
I too have had a really tough season. Last year I called in at least 6 birds during MO and KS seasons but this year I cannot get a bird to leave the hens they are with. They only gobble on the roost and maybe 20-30 minutes on the ground then they leave with the hens. I have tried with decoys and without. I have even seen 7 jakes at one time with no hens anywhere and they would not give our calls a 2nd look. I have spent a lot of days in the woods and plan on spending 3 more this weekend so I hope my luck really changes.
