Yea, what yelp said. I've had easterns take over 2 hours to come in. Its usually such thick cover, they are very careful about every step they make, cause something is always out there to eat them. One tom actually came out at just over 100 yards stuck his head over the log and litterally stared at me for way over and hour, without movie. Nothing but blinkin his eye. And of course it was one of those days, when my bug repellent wore off, and the bugs were landing on my face. I held out somehow. Eventually he tucked down, and dissapeared. I ended gettin him or his buddy just down the ridge the next day. Then other days, like yesterday, he came in running and blabbin the whole way. Thought I was gonna be trampled to death.

No luck today. Hunted Johnson creek area all day. No fresh sign anywhere and no birds or gobbles. Gonna head to Oakville in the morning.

MM just sent me a message, caught a mistake in my wonderful story telling. I wrote that I went 12 miles in to get my eastern. It was actually 12 round trip. Maybe 12 as a crow flys, cause we all know they dont fly very straight. Took me about 3 and a half hours to find him. Hope this corrects any confusion.  :sry:

Didnt happen for me this year.  :(  Kind of got a little feel of the game and next year I plan to hunt much earlier and also get some preseason scouting done. Thanks to everyone who provided tips and suggestions on places to hunt, especially wacenturion, gobble stopper, mtnseth, and yelp.  :hello:

EEEk the plot thickens. After a five day hunt and only being home 4 hours my buddy texts me and said he got a random tip where a hot gobbler was on private ground we can hunt the entire time I was over there.  :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:  What a hearbreaker...  :'(
