I've never seen birds hit the ground as early as this guy did this morning but it worked out in my favor. He never gobbled after I made the first soft tree call but when he flew down he came right at me and caught me off guard when he showed up so soon.
Hunted every day around the rain for the last three days here, only saw one jake. Two weeks ago it looked like a good season, now everything is gone even off the cameras. Strange.
