Three days in and things are super frustrating...henned up birds with very little gobbling after flydown.
Day 1:
Had the two gobblers from the pics roosted within 80 yds of us. I called the hens out into the field with the two strutters following behind. We were set up thinking they would come from above us so they never saw the decoys. They wanted to come in to investigate in the worst way but wouldn't leave their girlfriends...
Day 2:
Back after these two. They roosted in the same spot, I was setup in the groundblind closer than the previous morning with bmobile setup to entice them into range. They hammered on the roost but ended up flying down across the ravine on the neighbors.
Today:
My wife was sitting in the blind and I was on the upper side near the property line where the birds have gone for the past two mornings. Sun up came with no gobbling...they must have roosted somewhere else last night. Two hens came out on to the cornfield but their boyfriends were MIA. I'll try them again tomorrow morning, hopefully they will return to the normal roosting area.
