May 30th, I took a fine long beard in northern PA that was following two hens. He shock gobbled only once when I cut hard on a trumpet. He was only about 100 yards away. An hour later he followed the two hens in. No strutting, no gobbles, no spit and drum. Just followed them about 50 yards behind.
Often, hens lose their nest for many reasons. They will often breed again and make a second smaller nest.
