This bird is driving me crazy. I have been chasing this particular bird the entire season and with several close encounters that have come out in his favor, I am down to three days to get him. I can take one more turkey in La. for my limit, and I have been solely devoting my time towards this bird. I had a close encounter with him yesterday evening and he seems to always be a step ahead of me. I set up close to where I thought he was going to roost. He always, and I mean always, goes to roost at 7:30. Well, he decided to show up yesterday at 7:50, just the time I was packing up to leave. You can probably guess the outcome. To add insult to injury he flys up about 100 yards away and gives me two gobbles as I'm walking off just to let me know that I have been beaten again. I have had him within 50 yards of me two different times but couldn't get a clean ethical shot. Just when I think Ihave himfigured out he does something completely different.He gobbles good on the roost and on the the ground for a while, but will not come to any calling. He will not gobble in the afternoon. The gobbles yesterday were a rare exception, but he was just laughing at me. Hopefully I will get the last laugh. If I don't get him, he deserves to live. I have this turkey on film strutting just a few days before the season opened. I watched and listened to him for weeks. I thought he was going to be an easy one to get, boy was I wrong. I could go on and on with the encounters I have had with this gobbler, but that would take too long. Every time I go hunting I have some kind of encounter with this bird. I feel like I am now on a mission to destroy,but I will be almost as happy if I don't end up getting him. I will just look forward to do battle with him next year. The one I killed was actually larger than this one and very seldom gobbled.He was even more stubborn.I really thought he would be the one thateluded me so often, but that wasn't the case. Anyone having an experience like this?
