How often do hens mess up or have helped your hunts?
Several years ago I was hunting a popular WMA in Mississippi. Up in the morning I had a Tom come gobbling by me down a dry slough and he was absolutely uninterested in any of the sweet lust that I was promising him and just kept on going. In a little while, a hen came yelping down the slough going straight to him. I figured that this morning was a complete bust and just sat there. Suddenly I spot that same hen (?) coming back up the slough right to me. She would go about 20 yards and stop to look around. Who do I see right behind her, you guessed it, that original tom. When she would stop, he would hustle up there to her and bust into a strut. She would then take off and he would be right behind her again. She stopped at about 20 yards from me and I could just see him strutting behind a water oak. She took off and he stepped out from behind the tree and lovingly I ushered him into the Great Glorious Hereafter. Nice 3 year old bird that literally had a woman lead him to destruction.
