Title: will this work
Post by: bowmike on May 03, 2013, 11:51:52 AM
First post for me. I am 25 years old from southwestern PA and hunt all public land. I am normally a die hard fly fisherman but this year i have Bird Flu. Looking for insight on my game plan.

Got on one early today and watched it fly off the roost. This is some steep terrain. Where I was sitting there is a tram road that just below is a small bench, then opens to a large valley. I thought he would come up the tram to me but instead he flew into the hollow, indicated by the yellow lines.

I believe he is assembling his hens on the roost and flying down into the hollow to breed. My question is: What side of the hollow should I set up on. It is too steep to look into and see where exactly he went. I am thinking at the top right of the hollow would be my best shot at getting him. The lower end is getting close to house and there is a field about 200 yards from the top. I image he meets his girls in the hollow then works up to the field. Here is the top of the area. Let me know your thoughts?
