Birds are still flocked up, went to a new piece of public hiked a good ways in before first light. The 3rd spot I stopped and owl hooted I heard a hen cackle down off the side of a steep hill. I moved in as close as I could get but of course they were roosted about 400yds inside of private on a field so I had to sit up on a point and listen. Boy they ripped it up! I sat there til 9 when the wind picked. I did have 4 jakes come gobbling and strutting up the hill into the public with me and could see 6 round fans down in the fields and there was still at least another 5 gobbling in a hollow I never did see.
I'm hoping when the birds break up they will filter up into the timber more.
