Klickitat gobbler
« on: April 25, 2017, 09:42:26 PM »
Called this nice 2 year old into within 15 yards in an open meadow while laying prone before giving him the axe. I'd been hiking a mile or so from the truck and this one lit up about 200 yards from it on my way back for lunch. 11 to noon seems to be the magic hour for me. Got pretty lucky but I'll take it. He had an 8 inch beard and worn down 1/2" spurs.

Lord , we've been here on days before
and often times you've let me score
Now do you think that on this day
you could send a gobbler down my way?
And , if not , just let me say--
you've given me another day
to hunt the bird I love the best.
I don't mind sharing with the rest

Beautiful Merriams!  Perfect tail.   I have to ask, while hunting, did you wear that blue hat?  I've heard, many times, to never wear red or blue while turkey hunting because the gobbler's head is those colors and another hunter might make an mistake.    Congratulations, either way.

yeah I was wearing it. I've heard that too and I didn't even think about it when I grabbed it. I was hunting private land that no one else had access to though.
