Hey use the @ and the user name if you need to also get someone's attention on a post.  The best success I have had is the first 2 weeks of May.  Opening weekend is usually good if you have private property with heavy bird population.  From what I am hearing the hens are starting to lay eggs.  So the boys will be looking for more love mid morning till afternoon.  Keep in mind that once a hen starts intubating her clutch she doesn't roost anymore until the poults are old enough to fly up into a tree
