I had two big toms hung up for almost four hours this morning.
The 4 guinea hens were there at first light
but were not to
bad.Then 2 hens came in and milled around for an hour.All
this time I have one tom sitting 125-150 yards away.After
an hour anouther shows up.They work back and forth but
will not come in even with live bait.The hens left came back
then one went to the toms and the other just left.He would
gobble then move back then come in till 11:00 and I had
enough.I think one I shot at twice and the other saw me
come out of my blind that time when I thought he had left
the tree by my blind.I took down my blind and Set it up at
my son's house where I have only seen a coyote.On the
way 1/4 mile away I have to slow down for 5 long beards
in the road that had 12-14 inch beards.Looked like horse
tails.I keep hearing them from my sons BUT RT 44 is between
and if they don't cross it early the traffic is bad.I did see them
run across at 6:45 just the day before the season opened.
Will try again tomorrow.
