RE: Team 17
Thanks Junkie!
I was out at the hunt club yesterday with my friend/mentor. Struck up some gobbles at 2:30pm. Went right at them and set up, no decoy. Couldn't risk being out in the open. Our season has not started yet but since this is a hunt club with released birds it serves as a good tune-up. They were gobbling to all my calls 30yds away behind the thickest brush you could imagine. Then they moved. I hadn't seen themyet. Then all went quiet. At 5pm I decided to go home and was half way to my truck when my buddy callsthat they just started gobbling again. I hurry back and we set up but they woudn't come. I decided to move on them and got close. I couls see them on a high RR embankment on the tracks. We knew there were 3 birds that were released and not harvested. I counted 8 on the tracks,and the lead bird was at least 25#. I can't wait to get back out there an Fri. We have an ambush set up planned. BTW, the tracks themselves are off-limits, they'll have to come down to the swamp. They like those tracks cuz the trains often spill some grain alongside of em.
Wish me luck!
