Default A few questions about hens...

While hunting yesterday in NH (only my 3rd season hunting turkeys) , I put out two decoys (hen and close to me a jake)...I saw this hen turkey that did not move for 15 min (by the clock) lookin' at the decoys about 40 yds away, before she decided to feed again. She walked by me at 15 yds and finally flew away after watching her for 50 min. She never made a sound.....
Questions....Is it common to see a hen by herself, and is it common that she never made a sound?
Was she shy about feeding (for those 15 min) becase she was concerened about the decoys?
Will the Toms still be as agreesive the end of May?
Last question....Our hunting day ends at noon and it seems by that time, the woods are always quiet. Is there any change in strategy as the morning gets close to the noon hour?......Thanks in anvance to all.....
