			Have seen some turkeys around, but nothing like that number. There are to many to fool with, never have been able to call up a large group.  The season opens in Mississippi Friday and I will be there come rain or shine to start my 47th turkey season.

			I wouldn’t want to call in a large flock... too many sets of eyes and one suspicious old hen will bust you every time. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I called in a flock of 16 hens and one old longbeard about 15 years ago (read about in Parker Pages - “A Parker Perfect Morning”) and they almost busted me. My leg was resting against a little maple sapling and the more my leg trembled the more that sapling shook. All eyes were on me I’ll yell you... nerve-wracking for sure!! .
