Default 2015 Merriam Gobbler

DAY 1 started in the roost area with one gobbler and he wasn't talking, another hunter came up and spooked him of the roost just before fly down. In the afternoon I went to an area used often by gobblers and jakes and after a short while I heard a gobble I did some calling and thought he was coming in although he went silent, and then there he was 50 ft. from me but I couldn't move on him, he saw the decoys and didn't like seeing them then looked my way and putted, I hadn't realized my go pro light was flashing so that was that.

Day two I set up in the same area the gobblers like to use and soon I heard a gobble, I found a gobbler far off with hens and eventually called him away from his hens but he was still playing hard to get. After several min. the hens rejoined him and brought him right to me and he was all mine.
