LON Thats the reason we went after them in the early afternoon. We figured they would be henned up and more willing to play while they(the hens) were off nesting somewhere. Worked great on the first one and not at all on the second one. The second one we started much later in the day, like 4:00PM though. The first one did not respond at all until we did gobbles and putts, then, he opened up. The second one had done an end around on our first stand, but never opened up. We caught him out in the open on the return. Just my 2cts on the subject.
FB To bad your guest hunter had so much trouble!! Better luck next time.....
