I went out to the farm this afternoon to pick up some old farm equipment. WhileI was out there I could hear some gobblers in the distance.Any time I go out to the farm, I pack some camo and my bow.Ihadplaned on looking for a hog.I usually do not see turkey on my land because ofall the hogs. Hogs will eat the eggs, so if you have a lot of hogs,you donthave many turkey. I domy turkey hunting closer toDallas, and have not planed todo any turkey huntingfor anotherweek or two. Needless to say, I had no calls or decoys, so I thought there would be no chance to get a gobbler in. I set up in a field and did some calling with my mouth. I had a gobbler calling back to me. So I did my best hen calls and clucks I could. I guess it was good enough for this guy. He shows up about 100 yard from me, so I pur, cluck, and puck the best I can. I get him to struting and working towards me. I keep it real simple to keep him from spooking. After about 10 min. I get him within 45 yards. I puck at him to get him to raise his head, and when he did, I let the arrow fly. The only bad thing, I took his beard off. No problem, it wasnt a very good beard to anyway, about an inch from what I could tell on the ground and what was left on him. I had to shoot him with my fixed blades, since I had planed on shooting a hog. I usually use mechanicals but you got to use what you got. This guy drops on the spot and gets my spring season started right.
