Congrats to y'all on those fine birds. The Turkey Gods were good this weekend, good to the turkeys that is. I set up and had one gobblinglike there would be no end. He finally came out of the woods about 100 yards from me, started to commit, came a little ways, stopped, looked at the decoys(jake/2 hens)and had a change of heart[:@]. I tried some yelps and purrs, but he won't buying. I watched him go across the field and I'd call again, he'd stop and look, but still no luck. I watched him walk off into the cutover...I guess that would be what you call a decoy shy bird. Fun, but frustrating, the guys had a great week though, 4 nice longbeards in Turkey heaven..too bad they didn't need another one......it ain't over yet....I know where he roosts now.

Was there anything else I could have done to have gotten him to come? I scratched leaves, yelped, clucked, and finally a staccato of yelps and a few cuts mixedwith excitement.??????
