Okay let me vent....started the season out with my son in youth season and on opening morning I put PB out with 2 hens.....right off the bat we get an answer and a tom is on it's way.....comes to 40 yds (in full strut) and veers out clear of us......No shot.
Sat. Morning we go to the same spot and just put out 2 hens.....Tom comes from same direction BUT comes to 10 yds and wammo....game over....
My turn (Bow).....Go out Tuesday AM and have a Tom coming in full strut except again I have PB and the 2 hens out.....he stops 40 yds out and wouldn't come any further.....No shot.
Anybody else have any misfortunes with this? This morning when I went out I left the PB in the truck but didn't have any luck.....too windy this AM and the birds weren't really sounding off at all so I really don't know where they all went....
On my way back to the truck on the far ridge about a mile out I notice 2 Toms in full strut with a bunch of hens out in a bean field....I have permission to be where they are and would make a great ambush spot but would you leave PB in the truck or try my luck again with him? Would PB work better when the they are following the hens around thinking he might steal them or do I just go set up with my hen decoys?
Thanks in advance
