Well, I got the first one for this year, this morning. They are really acting weird around here right now. I went out before daylight and got set up and when it got light, I really didn't like where I was. The fog was so thick, I couldn't see the trees on the edge of the clear cut at 100yds. The birds weren't gobbling much either. I heard a couple way off, so I decided to go to an area where there are usually a couple gobblers roosted, using the fog as cover to make it across the clear cut. I went down and found a nice area just off the side of a logging road next to a creek and set up with my back to the creek. I waited a little bit before calling to let everything kinda settle down (racket I made). I let out a few yelps on my mouth call and waited.........nothing. I waited a while longer and yelped a few times on my slate call........nothing. So, I took a nap. When I woke up, the fog was gone and it was a blue bird day around me. I think I napped for about 40-45min or so. I woke up with my mouth call hanging out of my mouth and stuck to my lips. So I got it back where it should have been and let out a yelp........He Hammered. I didn't really know where it came from, because of the sound bouncing off the hills and a creek right behind me, but I definitely heard him gobble. I let out another yelp a couple minutes later and then shut up. About 5 or 6 minutes later, he was standing on the side of the hill in front of me and let out a gobble and scared the crap out of me. There he was in the thickest mass of briers and young saplings and looking for his date. I yelped and he gobbled and was looking for his hen. I didn't set my dekes up and was starting to think they would be useful at this point. Anyway, he stayed on the side of the hill looking desparately for the love of his life and we got into a chess match. I didn't call very much, just enough to keep him interested. He couldn't pin point the hen, he didn't know what side of the creek I was on, so he took flight and landed in a tree about 10 steps from me and was looking for his hen. I then took him. Now, some may have a question of ethics, and I thought about it before I shot, but the bird was clearly looking for me (then hen), so who am I to disappoint such a magnificent creature?[8D]
