Holding off on hunting this property cuz it has no cover...a long narrow cornfield butts near a creek on one end and the "long" side borders a neighbors long narrow (maybe 60 yards wide) soybean field.on the west ..big roost trees in a pasture just west of the neighbors soybean field. I'd have to use ground blind/decoys and call them over 200 yards from the roost area. I put together a homemade movement hen at 4:30 am using an old Zebco 202 and drilled a hole thru hens chest attached line there and hid reel inside deke for travel. Put a ? shaped lag screw hook in her too to use as the anchor for line in ground under her chest. Carried in my ground blind, dekes in my vest, seat and BPS 10ga. Got set up about 35 yds east of the soy field fence in dark. 4-5 gobblers sounding off and a few hens. 3 big toms fly down and strut for 3-4 hens about 130 yards from me..two more toms fly down north of them about 75 yds. The movement decoy worked great, tugged on the reel inside blind and she moved a little side/side and tugged harder she dipped like feeding. The three toms looked her over but stayed with hens..the nearest tom by himself finally got interested in my calls and committed after about 20 minutes. Took him at 30 yards with BPS 10/Jellyhead,Rem Lead 4"s as he crossed inside fence. The decoy movement I am certain is what brought him on in. I had real fan jake mobile set behind hen. He was a horse, weighed just over 26lbs, sharp curved 1 1/4" spurs and 14 1/2" beard. I was loaded like a pack mule on way out but was grinning from ear to ear.
