Boy what a dud of an opening day here in Ohio. Birds Gobbled a couple times on the roost then went quiet. I know I was around birds, but I could not make one gobble. I saw some hens wandering around and spooked one off a nest. I hate that, but she was right along a trail I was walking. She had six eggs. I will give the nest a wide birth the rest of season and hope she comes back. I never worked a bird at all today, that is a rare thing for opening day. Actually I have only failed to tag a bird on opening day once in the last five years. I guess I could have actually filled a tag, but jakes are not on the menu yet.....I let 8 jakes walk this morning. They just came walking up over a bank right at me, I guess they were coming to my call, but they never said a peep. I just pointed my finger at them and said BANG!
