i have been posting on ushf about hunting this weekend so some of y'all are firmiliar with what happened but for you that dont know basically, i had this bird come in 2 days in a row, the one time ,he was about 10 yds away and he wouldnt come out from behind the cabbage palm, then he flewthe canaland i spooked him going after him, hard lesson learned there and the next day(sun) i had a single palm frond between me and him and he saw me shaking uncontrollablly, lol.....he putted once and took , thought about shooting him on the run but decided against it, then this a.m. it happened....he started right back gobbling though so i knew he wasnt too spooked.......heres the story:
after the 2 days of that emotional rollarcoaster i was on, i finally got him.....@ 6:38 a.m.
i was listening for gobbles, i heard one to the north, but fl.huntress called and wouldnt be quiet, she didnt hear me shhhh her, so i couldnt pin point his whereabouts, i decided to go where i was, i knew he'd be there somewhere, well i heard a gobble waaaaaaaaay in there and i hauled butt to it, got within 100 yds of the gobble and i sat down and started to call him in, he hung up about 60 yds, he kept circling me, but he wouldnt come in, he knew i was in there, lol......so i said screw it, i moved, i was gi jane, lmao.......crawling on my hands and knees, then i would pop up by a tree , listen , after doing that a couple of times, i sat down and got ready, i clucked, just so he'd know i was there and i waited...he came in gobbling, i saw white and boom, i wasn't taking any chances of him getting away today, lol.........the date on the camera is wrong, just realized that today, so the date is wrong...lol...
his offical stats are:beard 9 3/4
17.5 lbs
spurs:1 1/4 and you ready....the other was 1 1/2 inches
i know it was him, it has to be......that beard looked 11 '' yesterday when he was next to me, lol.but thats ok now i'm going to bed, i've had about 13 hours of sleep since thur.
