Thursday, April 24th - lunch time, see one gobbler set up and he disappears.
Friday, April 25th - lunch time and nothing again.
Saturday, April 26th - Only one gobbler, but went the other direction once the cattle ran into creek.
Saturday, April 26th - Roosting Gobbler called "BUDDY" came in for 1/2 hour then roamed away.
Sunday, April 27th - Getting the flu bug. Heard a lot more gobbling. I think BUDDY got shot. Found three others came within 20 yards, gobbling up a storm, but foliage was to thick, and I forgot about old fence row. They moved on and I called it a day.

PICTURES FROM THE HUNT.

Monday, APRIL 21st, 2003 season just opened and after watching two different hen's fly down on opposite side of me and listening to another gobbler liven up the morning this gobbler chimed in at 40 yard before he finally flew down and walked away. At 30 yards could not see the head and could not take the shot as the hen lead him away.
