Guys, I finally connected. I never thought I was going to get this bird, but I finally did. Went out this morning and didn't hear a thing as usual. This bird hasn't been gobbling for over two weeks because he has been hunted hard by myself and two or three other hunters on a club that borders my land. Everytime you called to this bird he would shut up and go the oter way. As usual I go out and don't call and just listen. I set up where we had our last encountera couple of weeks ago.about 8:00. I made a four note yelp and low and behold he gobbled, but just once. I wait a while and nothing. I made another short series of light yelps and nothing. Here we go again I thought. I just knew he was going to do his usual routine.I sat there for a little while longer when I catch movement in the corner of my eye. There he is, strutting and coming right at me. Only problem is, he is to my right, so I'm stuck there with my gun on my knee watching him. To make a long story short, he finally comes a little more in front of me, and when he goes behind a tree I shoulder my gun. I drop him at 25 yards. He was a nice three year old bird that weighed 20.6 pounds and had matching 1 inch spurs. His score is 58.375.I'll attempt to get the pictures up later today. I've never tried it, so bear with me. I'm going back to Tennessee the first weekend of May, so maybe I can score on another. BTW, congrats Maglite on an awesome bird.
