Hens and gobblers leave behind three-toed tracks, but the middle toe of the gobbler is longer than his other digits. A single track measuring 4 1/4 inches or more from the tip of the middle toe to the heel indicates a gobbler, smaller than that and it's likely a hen.

My scouting's been done since before archery season. I'm going over to my in-laws' house, back to my archery range, and wait for the 3 gobblers, 2 jakes, and 12 hens to come out of the woods at 0715 like they do every morning. If I happen to miss em, I'll just sit in the lawn chair when they come back out around 1700. Either way, one a them gobblers and one a them jakes are gonna end up in the fryer. Gonna try with the bow this year. The 22Mag is my backup "just in case".

I drive in now right next to the private property and the WMA rd follows the fence around it and starts heading east towards the lake. Roads arent all destroyed by the logging equipment. Nice area to camp near there too but too bad thats not legal
