Well another season has started today and I had a great time. No big gobbler but I called in several Jakes at different times through out the day. My first set up was a total bust. Another new club member heard all the roosted birds in my area and decided he wanted to walk toward the roost as the birds were pitching down. I had several longbeards roosted and I though for sure I would have a good chance of having one of them land into my dekes. Well soon as the hens pitch off and the gobblers come down, I see a guy in camo stalking the flock of birds. Bad stuff. The birds scatter and I end up trying a separate spot where I immediately get a group of Jakes running toward me. I sit and watch as the Jakes size each other up and figure out what to do with my DSD hen decoy. After that I grab a some lunch try the area from the morning out without any birds. At around 1300 hours, clouds roll in and in less then 30 min it starts to rain.
It was a great day to be out and hopefully I can coax in a Tom tomorrow morning. How did every one else do?
