Congratulations Littleharry.
I just bought a pop up camper. My son turns six on Monday so I took them on a little camping trip just a quarter mile from where I killed my bird earlier this year. I had 7 six year olds asleep. Just as I was waking up, I heard a hen yelping. I figured it was a friend playing around and coming to check on me. Then I looked at my watch and saw that it was 6:15. I said "no friend of mine is going to mess with me this early in the morning. I looked out the window just as the hen was coming by. She walked by the camper at about 2 feet away. My campfire was still smoking. Folding chairs were littering the field. It didn't bother her. What a great morning.
Monday is my last day. I might go in the morning before church. At least I'll go Monday.

Tuesday can't come fast enough. I have a couple picked out and only have a couple days left too! Can't wait! Got more permission to hunt a couple more places in addition to home. Hopefully I'll be reporting back Tuesday afternoon/night. Later.

Yea Angus, it's been real tough. I've had 3 or 4 birds within 80 yards and they just won't come in. Most of the time there are a few hens around and its all over. After about 9 am gobbles are non exsistent and then I pretty much walk aimlessly through the woods trying to get lucky.
I got one pegged tonight and tomorrow morning hopefully I'll be able to sneak up on him and get him to come in right away. Let's just hope there isn't a hen roosted up next to him.
