went up to the property last week, and I never even walked into the woods, I parked in my space, got out of the truck, as it was still dark and just listened I heard what sounded like 2 or 3 toms Gobbling, Then I heard them fly down and Cackling, then it went quite, I stayed by the truck and never went into the woods, I knew they were still in there and really never had any intenions on going in. I sure wish season started tomorrow, I fill like are season is to late, as I think alot of birds are hened up or Hens are sitting on Nest, Ya I have heard from some that it should be easier, as the Toms are searching for Hens, Never has helped me in my little neck of the woods, I usally just have to find a spot and sit all day, And I see more jakes, but never any Toms crusing. I am still learning this sport, So I may be doing alot wrong, But being in the woods is still better than Being at Work.

The reason they shut up when they hit the ground is because they flew down to hens. No need to gobble any more. In those cases, you need to get danger close and call before they fly down. If that don't work, make a bed and wait for 2-3 hours and start hunting tge Toms that are now looking for hens.

Daworz- A bad day hunting always beats a good day at work in my book! I still have a lot to learn about turkeys and hunting them but I am enjoying every step of the way! And I know want you mean about wanting to be in the woods. Watching them strut across your property and knowing that season is still 10 days out is a bummer!
