Thanks y'all to. This is a new spot from last year. We did alot of map time and found areas not burnt. Alot more trees have fell now. It all looks the same on the ridge. I haven't been up there in a few years, but it is about time to make another trip. I love those hills.

They gobbling pretty good but not coming to calls worth nothing. Pretty much spot and stalk hunts. Gotta do what you gotta do I guess. That is a very familiar storyline. Pretty much the same thing we've experienced. I did have two Longbeards yesterday morning wanting to come to us but their boss man was across the gulley and above us. Everytime they started down the hill to us the boss man would march down the hill right behind us and gobble and the other two would shy back up into the corn field. That's the only birds that even thought about responding to a call so far.
