We had some good gobbling for the first few hours. But like yesterday they shutdown around 8 on my families property. We saw some Jakes that was it. Around 9 we decided to try a spot not far from the property. I did some aggressive calling on and off for some 30 minutes. Finally one fired back from nearly a mile across the valley. He gobbled pretty good and sounded like he was closing. Then more birds joined in. Two of em sounded much closer. We hustled down the trail to where I shot birds before. Just had a feeling they'd head that way. After I exchanged with them for a half hour or so. They were on their way. I had my girlfriend and my buddy mike out in front of me. I said there are two birds we can try for both. The gobblers came into view but were veering hard left of the shooters. I knew it wasn't good. The gobblers gobbled at around 35 yds. At the report of both guns. One flew the other ran untouched. After further investigation. The brush and lumber consumed quite a bit of both patterns. Game over! Gonna try another spot tomorrow for good reason. Lol!!
