Finally got my redemption bird this past Saturday. Due to me going to school an hour and a half from our property I don't get the scouting opportunities I want. I went hunting on the 21st but never heard a gobble. But this past Saturday I took a gamble and rushed home Friday night. Got out to the woods right before sunrise. As I was approaching my new set up (about a quarter mile west from my first setup), an owl flew overhead and landed, gave a hoot and this old bird started gobbling in his roost. I set up at the corner of a road at the treeline, about 75 yards from his roost. I called out a few soft cuts and purrs here and there. We went back and forth for an hour. He finally caught eye of my Primo's B-Mobile and my hen laid down. He crept through the timber to my left and I didn't see him till he was 15 yards out. I leaned around the tree and laid into him. 22 lbs. 10" beard with 1" spurs.
