Good luck and happy trails. You guys realize its not over here right? Unless you have limited your skills to gun only. If that's the case you might try reinventing hunting by picking up the bow. 
Thanks everyone for the good wishes.
Spent three great days with my bros trying to apply what I've learned from Gen, Breacher, Ghost and the rest of you gentlemen. I got very close on the second and third mornings, calling toms on each day all the way to the woods edge. But I couldn't entice them into the open. It wasn't my calls that spooked them, because that last morning we left our guns at home and used electronic calls, with the same result. I guess it could have been my SELECTION of calls, but not the sounds I was making, because the electronic calls had the same effect. I never did hear any hens, so I was uncertain about whether there were any around. But walking in the woods the last afternoon after electronic calling, we found a ton of fresh scratches very near to a spot I'd picked out as a potential set up in case we decided not to try electronic calling. I'd have gone there if I'd had one more day. Each day, we had only a narrow window. Never heard any gobbles outside sunrise to 8am. Around 9am I would start walking the ridges trying to locate birds and never got any responses. Next time...
