Title: Oregon Mountain tom
Post by: Tree Killer on May 04, 2023, 06:35:42 AM

Got over the mountain about 90 minutes after fly down this morning.  Hiked out to a ridge I’ve had success on numerous times and after trying several different calls, I got a response with the Quaker Boy Mini boat paddle.  I moved over and set up directly above the bird, then gave him some sweet slate yelps…silence.  Pulled out the ole yeller pot and cutt followed by a run of yelps…silence.  Switched back to the mini boat paddle…he thundered!!!  After he gobbled several more times I set the call down and waited to see what he was going to do, and 3-4 minutes go by and I caught some movement in the timber.  He’s slowly walking up the hill with his head high searching for the hen.  When he’s behind some tree’s I shoulder the Winchester.  Then he steps into a lane and…lights out!

I might get over to the Blue Mountains for another bird if the snow melts. Depends on whether the salmon fishing gets red hot.   :tup:

That sounds like an awesome hunt!  It also reminds me how particular they can be to one call vs. another and is a good reminder that I carry all of that stuff, I should maybe use more of it  :chuckle:
