Well, went out this morning and got setup, had birds gobbling all round me. they gobbled for about 45 mins then they all shut up except for one i heard about 400 yds away. So, I was going to move in on him. got in to the pipeline and hit the mouth call one more time before i moved. well one gobbled about 50yds on the other side of some tall grass. oh, s!@t. I droped right there in the rye grass. was afraid he hear me move back into the plamattos(sp sucks) hit the call again and here he comes. I was laying on my side to get as low as possible. will I drew on him and missed from 25yds. I was pissed. he was a big one too
But, I packed up and moved to another spot about 2 miles away and was doing some scouting. as I turned and was starting to head back. I hit the call. gobble gobble about 40yds in the plamottos. so I found a big tree in the dried up swamp bottom. and here he comes. so I layed the hammer on him. didn't miss this time. 18lb 2 inch beard.
Also this was my first turkey, on my first hunt that I could get out before daylight. I hunted 2 other time in the afternoon. and had hens come in on me but no toms with them.
