We got into at least 4 birds at daybreak but left when it became obvious that were were battling some hens.We circled back to the same spot around 9:00 and one immediately cut off my first series of calls and he was close.It less than 5 minutes he was in a full strut right in front of me with a one hen.Jordan had no shot so I dumped him.We took the bird home and went to a different spot around 10:30.Once again,I struck two up right off the bat but they were pretty far.We hustled down,got into a better location and they cut my calls off.We moved to a better position and I thought for sure it was gonna happen.They came strutting in but hung up just out of range.A flippin hen must have came in and cut us off because they weren't budging and she took them directly away from us.We got to work two sets of birds which is always a good morning but other than that,it was quiet.I took the Rambo to a remote spot yesterday before daybreak and listened.It was beautiful out but nothing until I let out a series of yelps and one answered.I left,hit a few more spots and struck one more up.Not a single bird gobbled on their own saturday or yesterday.As soon as the hens start sitting,it will change.
