i have a dr. apt. today so i was able to get out for a little bit this morning.. well here is how it went.. i got to my listening spot and sure enough the same gobbler ive been hearing sounded off on roost, the thing about him he is always w/ hens.. well i made my move on him and walked out the old logging road and i was going to set up on it but then i thought na im going to get off the road a bit and go about 30 yrds closer. im thinking he is over 100 yrds away.. so i go where i wanted to and stood there and made 2 clucks and GOBBBBBBBLLLEEE... i look up and there he is 50 yrds away in a tree looking right at me.. the foliage (sp?) screwed me up.. i know better thats the sad part.. but so im standing there, (another mistake) behind a tree hoping he dont see me..lol.. and he did make me wait it out he stayed there for about 10min and i couldnt move then i watch him fly off right over my head.. and yes he was a really big bird w/ a big ol paint brush hanging down... the one day he is alone and also i was the only hunter there today normally there are guys everywhere.. everything was looking good for me.. oh well thats why they call it hunting.. i did have half a smile when he flew over me like you gotta be kidding me... well thats my season for you.. but this time i made some dumb mistakes, i know better i dont know what i was thinking today..
