So when the spring season enters its third week, and all-day hunting is permitted, they like to take advantage of the chance to get out there nightly and hunt. For them, it's prime time, too. Susan and John own a tract of land on the point of the mountain not far from their home in Centre Hall. It's been in John's family for years and had long been the site of a family hunting cabin. It's been a great gobbler hunting spot. They can hear gobblers from all directions. And turkeys naturally travel from fields in the lowlands along logging trails leading up through the mountain's hardwoods to their preferred roosting spots near the top. John said he'd like to be able to make the stories of his and Susan's turkey hunts more iconic; to give accounts of gently working a call and having gobblers holler their heads off in response. But that just isn't how these hunts usually go. Gobblers don't gobble much in the afternoon. Sometimes they'll cluck or putt. But only once in their memory has a gobbler actually gobbled in response to calls they made on an afternoon hunt. That makes for a pretty quiet hunt - at least until Susan's 12-gauge booms from the concealment of the blind. And that's an important fact that's not to be missed: the gobblers do respond to calls made during afternoon hunts. They will come into them. They just won't holler back in response. John and Susan don't call a whole lot during afternoon hunts. While in the blind, they'll call about every 15 minutes if there's no action in between. John said he'll call softly most of the time. But the third time he calls, he'll usually use a box call and call much louder just in case turkeys nearby couldn't hear the softer calls. 22
