Love it when they follow the script
« on: May 20, 2011, 12:02:44 PM »
What an absolutely perfect morning.  Heard 5 or 6 different gobblers, no wind, no clouds, I'm telling you could not pick a more perfect morning.  Went with Glen (Heartsblood) this morning.  We got out in the woods a ways and had a couple of different gobblers we could go after.  Moved up to the top of a long ridge and I let out a series of yelps and he gobbled back fairly close.  No time to set up decoys.  I moved off to one side and just slightly back.  Once we got situated I called a couple of times and finally got an anwser.  He was not fired up by any means but within about 5 minutes came strutting in.  I think he gobbled a total of three times after the initial gobble.  Glen got to watch him for quite a while and he strutted into 20 yards and Glen put him down with one nice shot.  About a 20 pound bird with a 9 inch beard.  Congrats Glen!!  Thanks for an enjoyable hunt.

Thanks so much Fred for the picture perfect day! I am very happy with our outing and for getting to hang out with you in gorgeous country.  I learned lessons I will not soon forget. Thanks again for taking the time to teach a (somewhat) newbie some of the nuances to turkey hunting. Very generous.

I hope I can repay you somehow in a way that can comes close to how much this experience has meant to me.

You're a class act my friend.

Right on guys!  I own a bunch of decoys, NOTHING AGAINST THEM, but a bird called in and whacked by call alone is a little bit sweeter to me.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
