Did a little unplanned gobbler recon today.
Hadnt really planned on going out until next week, but today I took the dog on a run in the 400 acre WMA behind our house and ran into some birds that may be there in the am.
It was 1:00pm and I took a diaphram call along just for the hell of - practice while walking along the trails. Dog was ramming around, dragging tree branches and splashing in the creek. I'd stop and call every once in a while and bingo...2 toms responded with some loud gobbling at the same time. I talked to them for a little while and they were actually coming closer even with the dog thrashing around! Horny I guess!!
I will be back in there before sunrise to see what I can see. Bagged a 20 pounder in there last year. Will let you know how I make out.
Anyone else going out on Monday?
