RE: First Timer Frusterated
GC, Don't get frustrated as most of us here in Colo. have to hunt a few seasons before we get our first bird. OR is probably the same.
You might want to try the lonesome hen approach to get that hen to come find you and bring the tom along. Be sure to use a call they haven't heard before as they do seem to remember calls that they've busted or ignored before. Good luck.
