Was good morning in the pa woods birds did their thing first thing in morning heard good 8 different birds from all directions lite misty rain on and off thunder lightning ( I think its great when birds gobble to thunder lol ) luckly heavy rain stayed south was  hot also  called up 2 jakes at 7 then called up full fan round hour later came in hard on my right and went to move a bit to right and he caught movement toke off  (  I Pull up a tree and sit always see these videos guys moving pretty good or pointing to their buddys wheir bird is and don't get caught don't know how they do it LOL ) 

but after that went for walk to kick my self in azz ended back up in my spot figured sit down just sat no calling and birds fired back up up over hill figured I would sneak back up over and sit got bout fifty yrd bumped a hen ( I think that was good thing ) birds still gobbling went few more yrds and set up gave them some soft stuff birds worked my way after the shoot walked up to this one and the other 2 came right up me gobbling lol ,,,,,, but for game lands was a good day dint hear no other hunters or see any no shooting ,,,, between the rain worked the birds with fiber rod striker copper and crystal did the trick  ,,as I headed to the truck the birds was still gobbling at 1100 am

Congrats Mike.
Sounds like a good time.
Being south of you, we got the rain. Lots of it.
Thunder, lightning, down pours, etc.
But I was nice and dry in my blind.
Fiber rod striker worked well.
Had several birds going off and on until I had to leave at 11:00.
Saw a brief glimpse of 2 sneaking by me in some thicker stuff, but couldn't get a good look.
Might have been hens, as I heard some of them earlier.
All the other birds, I believe were with hens and only gobbled back. Didn't want to play.
Heard birds off and on all morning. Strange thing was I didn't hear a gobble until 6:15.
Way later than I had thought they would start.
Seemed to stay in the trees a lot longer also.
I hope to be back out Monday morning.
