For this fall I have been able to get to the woods for some hunting three different times so far. In the three times out I was able to take one fox squirrel, the opportunity was there to take my limit of five but I chose not to.

I didn't make it out in to the woods until after the sun was up but, there was still some Toms gobbling off in the distance. I chose to hunt the edge of the woods along a newly planted corn field and my friend took to the woods. I sat just in side of the woods and made calls about every half hour or so. A few yelps just to let them know a lonely hen was around. I sat in that spot until eleven or so and only saw one bird.
