So went back to the state land down near where the bird gobbles yesterday morning. Maybe around fly down time I heard a "hen" a bit of a ways away calling....thought maybe a hunter but I'm not sure because it sounded fairly real and was moving around and stopped. When Icouldn't sit any longer, I got up. Walked towards where I heard them yesterday and found a ton of fresh scratchings from yesterday! Lots of fresh and old scratchings. I set-up in a new spot and called but there was someone else up on the hill above me calling...sounded like a box call and it only called like every ten minutes. It seems like a decent spot and with all the scratchings (I found a wing feather to), that gobbler should be around. Should I keep hunting this area in hopes of a bird coming in? Even though tomorrow is Saturday, I'll still give it a go. Hopefully not too many other hunters. It was 30 degrees this morning compared to 40 yesterday morning so I'd guess that shut the birds up.
