RE: A few questions about hens...
This year i had a breading pair set up and a hen watched them from 50 yards for about 20 minutes. she then started putting and ran away. i talked to an ol' boy that has turkey hunted all his life and asked him why she was so hessitant about them and he said that the turkeys will watch for movement and if they dont see any then they get suspicious. as far as hunting late morning i like to use a crow call to get a bird to reply. i feel that if i can get him to gobble at 10:00 then he is as good as mine b/c all of the hens are on their nest.
