Hunt #3 this morning. The first hunt was in the middle of 25 mph winds, but we managed to call up 2 hens and heard 2 gobblers that wouldn't work.
Hunt #2 was an evening hunt that started with a mud boat ride, followed by a trek through the swamp. Called several hens in, but the only gobbler close got cut off by a hen about 100 yards out.
Hunt #3 has us on the edge of a swamp bordered by a cow pasture. Birds gobbler well off the roost and one decided to walk into 40 yards and stop behind a limb laying on the ground. He had a hen behind him and as he decided to leave my boy did not feel comfortable enough to shoot 40 yards. Can't fault him for that.
Birds are still gobbling as I type, so I don't think the morning is over.
