For a guess , Its hard to tell. Hunting Presure can play a role in this sort of situation. I've seen the bust of Hens and a Tom work in the spring a number of times, but as for the bust of Toms or Jakes it really could work out any way as they tend to take some time to regroup if at all.

I would have to wonder if just leveing the birds and getting to the blind waiting out a 1/2 hour and calling would have lead them to the setup area, with out the resent spooking of the birds that could aswell cause Silents for some time.

I know what LB is thinking here so, he's hit that guess I'll swing the other and say that the birds when silent for sometime, and the last hour of your hunt you either heard Gobbling close or seen a bird , but just ran out of time before getting the bird into range [&:].

How and the heck can we guess as to what these birds do, they change their ways so often it could be an either or ...BT
