I had two birds gobbling this morning and unfortunately, they were on our neighbors property, which is separated from ours by a high fence. Called in both birds to within 30 yards of my set up but neither one would fly over the fence. I thought one of them was going to die of an anxiety attack pacing back and forth. He must have gobbled a 100 times. After watching them for two and half hours, they finally eased down the fence line and gave me a chance to slip out. Maybe in the morning they will fly up on our side. "Don't cling to Mistake, just because you spent a lot of time making it."

Gobble for 30 minutes at full strut and would not cross the fence. I took the safety off may times but never squeezed the trigger. It was the right thing to do, I guess.

muzziehead OP 14 point M Joined: May 2002 Posts: 8,031 Central Alabama	Originally Posted by teamduckdown Free range in the big pen turkeys Well, I'm on the poor side of that fence hunting the free range birds. Sad thing is, the guy that has that property doesn't even turkey hunt. But I guess if I were a turkey, I would prefer to take up residence in an area where no one was hunting me and was predator free. Had a buddy of mine tell me to my heaviest fishing tackle with big treble hook or plug and leave in leaning against a tree, just in case.
