Let us know!!

I wish I could get to KS a couple of days early. It sounds like the weather will be turning colder and windy soon.

I heard that with a full strut tom or jake, you want it facing AWAY from where the gobbler is coming from so that he will sneak up from behind and attack? And truth to this?

I used a B-Mobile and two hens last year. I set the B-Mobile facing to the side and two hens with one facing to the side and one facing away from me. the B-Mobile wasn't facing the hens at all. I had at first light a Tom come in and skirt right to the B-Mobile and when he was about ready to pounce he got the hammer. Same setup about 30 minutes later and had three Tom's come in and tried to get the B-Mobile and again same result. They were more interested in beating up the boy to get to the girls.

Well I went twice since I started this post and the first night was no success but just got back tonight and it was the best hunt of my life even though I didnt have any success killing. Im thinking turkey season here in Kansas are really starting up good....cause I went out tonight and had 2 toms hittin my call all night and then ended up having 4 toms come into me and one flew across the creek and landed about 7 yards in front of my face and I was unable to pick up my bow and draw until he flew back across and the group started to walk away.....I ended up missing at about 45 yards. One cool thing was that a hawk swooped down and grazed the back of my hen decoy with his claws. I have never had it happen to me before....anyone else?

Hawk no but I have had numerous coyotes put the stalk on and attack my dekes.
