Work on being patient and scouting more.
This is a issue for me, hard to make time for scouting. Just gotta do it.
First two weeks of season was rough. Birds weren't talking like they should. I wasn't sticking with the rule to be patient. Took a friend out the third weekend, birds were across a swamp on next ridge by a field. Unfamiliar area so after 45 mins we circled around to field, closer to their roost area. Set up and called for 45 mins. Decided to move down the edge of field.
Across the swamp in the clearing we originally set up in was a large strutting bird. Prob 20 yards from my friends original position. So we tried to set up and call him back. 200 yards behind us, at our 2nd set up at edge of field... you guessed it, another strutter.
I need to pound the patient rule into my head, period. I may have a touch of ADD
