Well the PA and NY openers Saturday and Sunday turned out to be busts. Got on them in Sat. morning and set up the way they usually fly down, I did the whole fly down routine and they decided to take off downhill with the hens. Sounded like they were moving along the ridge so i went down to try to cut them off but they went onto another property I don't have permission to hunt. So I went up to the field i was on first thing and spooked one. Walked up the hill a little bit and didn't get on any and I had to get out of the woods by 9:30 to go to a wedding
NY opener on Sunday was more of the same. Yesterday I didn't hear any gobbles on the property so set up on the edge of the field I was in on Saturday, set up a decoy and did some calling every few minutes. A little before 8:00 two jakes came walking down to my left and I flattened him. Set up worked how I hoped it would. Too bad it wasn't a longbeard. One more tag for PA and 2 for NY so hopefully I will be able to upgrade
