Our Iowa season is all over now and it seems the birds know it they didn't talk a whole lot the 4th season, but the last few days I've been hearing them gobbling more. I got a new call today and was playing with it outside and one answered me so I thought what the heck I'll try to call him
in.So I was in blue jeans so I just through on a camo sweatshirt and headed towards the gobble. I got just inside the tree line and they were on top of the ridge and I was at the bottom of the hill so I knew I didn't have a good set up,but I didn't care because I wasn't trying to kill them. I started calling and they would answer it seemed like there were 3 of them together.What really got them going was a fighting purr. I messed with them for maybe 10 minutes and I finally saw 2 of them coming down the hill at maybe 60yds away and I fumbled around with my phone to try to get a video and they must have seen something they didn't like I didn't have a face mask on I just had my hat and hood on my sweatshirt pulled down tight to try to hide.They just got silent for a little while and moved up the hill a little.They did start answering me again but I just backed out and left. It was just nice hearing them talk and getting a chance to play with them. Man I wish it was still season .
