Team #7 Roost Raiders

BigCountryHunter
Smoked one on Public Land Friday morning !!!

Hunted this same place last season so I kinda knew where one might be roosted..

Right as I got set up a tom gooble'd on the roost about 75 yards off to my front left alittle bit and another one off to my left further away.. I heard about 8 other toms gobble.. I listen'd to em all gobble for 30 mins or so .. I broke out the slate call and did some clucks and purrs and leaf scratching about 3 times then went back silent... I heard him fly down and then it sounded like they was headed away from me.. Some other birds made him shock gobble and he was still close... I got out the crystal call and made some louder yelps... Two toms gobbled right away... I waited 5 mins or so and then did it again.. They about busted my ear drums !! They were less than 50 yards behind a big tree I was on the other side of ... I dropped the call and got ready... About 6 mins later he came around the edge of the tree about 25 yards in front of me and I let that ole shotgun sing ... Drop em in his tracks !!!

What a great feeling !! Fist pumps etc.. Awesome morning !!
