Ended up checking on another part of Egypt valley today after not hearing much or seeing anything this morning. Found an area that looked good and pulled over and while I was checking my maps I hear a bird fire off! I know he's a long way off and I jump out to start toward him. By the time I get to him he's in the tree, I jumped two hens before I get to him so I'm pretty sure he's alone. He was in the tree to and gobbled till it was dark. I yelped a few times and he answered me, done a fly up and left him. He was still gobbling when I got back to my truck. I onlyhave a couple hours to hunt in the morning gotta be at work tomorrow evening at 6! Need a little luck in the morning!

Well this morning didn't exactly go according to plan. I get into where I roosted a bird last night and he's already gobbling. I sneak to where I want to set up and tree yelp a few times. He answers me twice and then flies into the tree right above me. I notice as the sails in what I was worried about last night. It's a Jake. I watch him gobble right above me for the next 5 minutes when suddenly a hen sails in from behind me and lands 40 yards from me. She disappears and never says a word, apparently she has a nest here. The Jake putts twice then takes back off and flies back to his original roost. Was a long drive back to work today.
