Bird 2 Down
Got number two this morning. Went to the swamp this morning and this bird gobbled at an owl at 5:37. I had fooled with this same bird several days ago and he had flown down out to the left of his tree and walked off gobbling. Today I sat down next to the largest water oak in Packers Bend out in the area he had flown down to the other day. I listened to him gobble for about 15 minutes. At 6 am I purred ever so softly. So low some would not have believed he could have heard it. He didn't gobble but I saw a turkey sail down out to my left. Then I heard him drumming. I was worried he would get too far left on me but he walked right back over in front of me. Shot him at 6:02. Talk about a flash hunt. Good bird too. 18 lbs 3 oz
11 1/2 inch beard and 1 1/8 right spur, 1 1/16 left spur.
