first day update, well i was able to locate a couple toms last evening, got in early this morning. i heard at least 4 different ones. i got set up on a ridge just up from where id heard 2. some soft clucking and purring brought in 2 jakes. i waited it out til 8 and made a big circle around the valley where i had heard the others. setup on and old log skid and did some blind calling. got a reply after about 20 min. bird worked into maybe 80 yds i could not see him. he went silent so i did too. i waited quite a while then some cows came up the skid lol. so i tried a couple other spots and came back to camp for lunch. heading back out here soon.       more to come     strut
