Big Eastern down!
« on: April 17, 2017, 07:26:19 PM »
After 3 days of tough hunting I got a good setup on this bird. Snuck in to his roost way before light and got the dekes out. He put on a good gobbling show then pitched straight into the spread. Immediately went into full strut and advanced angrily toward the jake decoy. He was only on the ground for about 30 seconds before I gave him a rude awakening. He's a dandy, I'm getting a full body mount on this big boy!

Nice! Can I ask what time he flew down from his roost? I've been watching an eastern and it's been like an hour after daylight. Is that normal?
