Mississippi hunt this past week. 800 acre, lot of pines of course with some scattering of hardwoods, and several smaller food plot areas. Didn't here a gobble in 3 days, and there was 3 guys. 2nd day it started to rain about 2pm after we just made a call sequence. 2 hens come into edge of field and didn't like the decoys. 1 feeder, 1 breeder, 1 Jake. went right back into the woods. Then 5 min. later came back out with 18 other hens and 1 young tom. They left the field a few min. later without the Tom. He went with me.
Question; while driving around, on 3 separate occasions we saw 1 Tom with 10-20 hens. Were we to early? Is that the way it is down south? Are we thinking very few Toms in the area? Never saw individual hens or satellite jakes. Just the big groups with 1 Tom. Again, no vocalization in 3 days. The owner sent me a pic off of trail cam the next day of 3 toms together on the 13th. What do you think? I was successful, but just curious as my partners weren't.
