Day 3 was gorgeous morning. I went out and fed the horse just after daylight and could hear the toms across the road at my cousins. I figured this is the morning, I get my gear head through my back pasture knowing those toms are gonna cross the road above my place and come down into my pasture. Walking out all I hear is silence. No clue where they went. I set up in ground blind I have set up, call once in awhile hoping for a response and nothing. I decide to head east along an old stone wall calling every once in awhile and finally get a gobble back! I don't even get set up and I can see the the lead birds red head 50 yards away over the brush. I sit down against a tree, give a few soft calls and 4 jakes come in to 20 yards. I ended up letting them pass, I want to take a long beard first with the VH. It was fun having them come right in. The toms must be henned up somewhere. Will have at it again tomorrow.
