Here's the picture and story. Went back to a spot my brother and I had been the previous week and bumped a roosted hen while setting up. The Toms were gobbling across the road instead of 100yds in front of me as they had been the previous week, had to stay put on the public land, couldn't move in on them onto the private land. The gobblers came in to my calls (or so I thought) to about 100yds, made a huge ruckus for 20min until a hen flew down to them. Game over, they shut up and left immediately the direction they came from.

Half hour later the gobblers start coming back! At the same time I start hearing turkey sounds from behind me, I"m on public land, it seems I have company. Then starts the longest string of hen sounds I've ever heard, pretty good calling, yelps then clucks and purrs, more yelps and on and on. The gobblers are coming so I chime in with a few yelps and this guy(I'm assuming another hunter)gets even more fired up. I'm thinking enough already, give it a rest and with a very excited fly down cackle, the hen I bumped walking in flies down and lands 80 yds to my left. No other hunter, that was a real hen overcalling to those toms.

She circles around my lone hen decoy, I can now see three toms at 80 yds through the trees to my right. At her pace, she will meet them at about 60 yds and they will all be gone. I yelp on the mouth call and she turns around and comes back to confront my hen decoy. Perfect! The toms cross through an opening at 45yds, I shot the second one, picture below.

Eastern turkey in central wisconsin, 24lbs. 7/8" spurs and 9.5" beard.

RE: Team 17
 

It's been a while since I have been on here. I'm glad to see most did very well. The last day of gobbler season here in West Virginia was Saturday. I did score on one bird about two weeks ago. I was hoping to fill my remaining tag with a bigger bird, but it wasn't meant to be. Hunting was unusually difficult this year, with not much gobbling occurring. The weather didn't help either as it rained nearly every day the first two weeks of the season.

Here's a picture.

RE: Team 17
 

Nice bird mad,your bird has put us up to 3rd place.

RE: Team 17
 

One more bird over 50 gets us in first, provided nobody else scores. Any of our guys still hunting? Have we heard from those who have not yet shot a bird?

RE: Team 17
 

I haven't

RE: Team 17
