RE: Most gobbles you ever heard???
As others have had this happen to them, I had a great experience with an older Tom that seemed he took short breaks on the way toward me, gobbling all the way. I say the bird about 200 or so yards away, and had a clear bill of sight of him. He would gobble 5 or 6 times, then walk a short distance, and then repeat. When he got within 50 yards of the decoy, he turn up his gobbling and I could swear the darn bird was a mockingbird bird of gobble. I lost track of time as he voiced his turkeyhood all the way up to the decoy. He did shut up after all that, when my arrow stuck him. In all, he was the loudest, most obnoxious Tom, but it payed out though in the end with a 11 inch beard, and 1 1/4 spurs. And he was tasty in the deep fryer too.
