Sat out there for 3.5 hours and the only gobble I heard, was from my gobble call. I have to work today, otherwise I'd still be out there.

HUH? why are you using a gobble call in the fall? birds wont come to that? you need to find the roost, let the birds fly down then run in a bust up the flock then use puts & clucks with key key runs to call the birds back to you laugh

I've read purrs, clucks, and kee-kees can bring a hen flock back together; and a gobble call can bring toms back together. First year I've gone for them in the fall so I'm still learning.

And again, I need to find some turkeys first. All I saw were a few cottontail rabbits (didn't shoot them). A guy I talked to when I was packing up said he'd been out there for 7 years and never seen turkeys where I was hunting. Time for some more scouting.

Three hours in the woods beats three hours at work any day.

where are you hunting? the LBJ grasslands? if so there has been a sharp decline in the turkey population over the last 5 years! I would say at least 80% of the birds we had there 5 years ago are gone.....

It's one of those "yeah, I got a fall gobbler once" type things for me.

Beats being at work, or with the tailgaters around the duck pond.
