Congratulations.  Those Easterns are special and my favorite to hunt.  Altogether different than hunting the other two subspecies we have.  Nice bird.

Nice! Can I ask what time he flew down from his roost? I've been watching an eastern and it's been like an hour after daylight. Is that normal?

I have seen em stay in the trees for hours. It depends on the a lot of factors. Rain, predators, how hard of a day he had the day before. I have seen em stay on a limb and fan out trying to attract the hen that is only branches away...

Nice bird. Wasn't that you that I talked to on opening morning? On your bike, I came out behind a tree with my bow and told you there was an eastern right in front of me.. I heard the tom and let you go after him. It sure looks like you or your look alike and the clearcut looks like the one I was going to.  If not than you must have been near by,, looks like the same bird...

Huh. I didn't know that. Thank you.

For some reason I thought they always came down around sunrise.

You let another guy go after him. You are a good dude..
I have been trying to  get the eastern for going on 5 years and still haven't seen one. If I heard one I am pretty sure I could not let another guy go after it.
You sir are amazing , hats off
