5:42--Sitting in a ladder stand waiting for the gobbling to tell me what or what not to do.
On my walk up my mountain, I found an odd thing. There was a turkey egg lying in the middle of my 4-wheeler road. Do turkeys sometimes lay eggs like that and abandon them? This was obviously not a nest site. That's a new one on me!

6:18--Surrounded by gobblers. None are real close. I'd guess 3 of them are 300-400 yards off. It's going to be a wait them out and hope situation again..

6:24--I have a couple sounding off a little closer now, NE of me (off my right shoulder). Probably 200 yards or less. One sounds like it may be a jake. They might be my best bet this morning. I'm going to move towards them.

6:45--heard a hen yelp west of me near my property line. 75-80 yards away. Haven't heard the two gobbles since I moved. I'm sitting about 60 yards closer from where I started. Gonna sit tight here. Might call lightly...

7:30--I have two gobbling on the farm north of me. I am sitting 75-80 yards south of Powerline cut, one of them sounds about the same distance north of it. Powerline is the property line. I'm hoping I can coax one of them over here.

8:10--haven't heard one for a while. I'm just going to stay put right here as long as I can stand it. If any turkeys cross Powerline from north onto my place, I'm in as good a spot as any to intercept them. I know they are over there...just need them over here. I have about 4 hours for them to make up their tiny little minds. Need to start towards home around noon.

8:27--the farmer has fired up his tractor and the cows are stirred up over there...could push turkeys out of field and into the woods...hopefully my woods!

 DON'T GIVE UP !! Earlier this morning, out in my back field, saw one huge "Strutting" Tom, which looked like he had an 8" beard. Two Jakes were accompanying him along with three hens. On my Sunday morning walk, the Turkeys, down the road from my place, here were "gobbling" their heads off.

Heard 1 hen yelp a couple of times in the distance, that is it; no gobbles, very poor morning.
