Up at 2am, on the road at 3 am.  My whole state is mountains so I walked up hill about a mile, but on a slant so I only gained 350 ft vertical, in the dark.  On my place at 5am, cloudy and dark; ser up 4 decoys and camo blind.

The season is toms only, shotgun only. and calling only (no stalking allowed).

Beautiful big hardwoods; only heard two gobbles both more than a mile away.  never saw another hunter.

In the next 45 minutes had 3 hens walk in to my calling

Must be out of the woods (law) by 12 noon.

great day.  and the weather man had said rain!
