Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default PA. Opening Morning

Well one of the gang members watched this bird roost on the side of a mountain at the edge of public grounds. He made a phone call and Scrapper and I were off early for the walk back in, as a guess of where the bird made roosted , we sat at a spot and had a smoke and waited out first light and gobble.

Well low and behold , the bird was roosted about 45-50 yards straight in front of us, so we slowly moved back and setup. The bird gobbled about 50 times and we sat still and waited him out. I had a feeling that he was going to land not far out from the seup ,as being roosted on the side of a mountain , he's going to fly into the hill side to land.

Well did I call that right , I could see him getting ready to pitch out so I was sitting ready to grab the gun form my lap as soon as he did. He came off the branch at 6:01 am and glide right into my range just over the edge from me, I fastly lifted the gun and pointed it and yelped a total of 4 times and Up came the head. The bird was died at 6:02 .

Too be honest that is the fastest Turkey hunt I have ever had....BT
