well i headed out this morning for the last PA hunt of the spring ....

As i reported beforethere was a gobbler that roosts on the other side of the creek bottom from me uncles farm , and he is there EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!!! well i got a late start and it was 515 when igot out of the car.. By the time i went to the bottom pasture which is about 250 yards away form the car , he had gobbled 20 some times , i lost count after 15 ... i setup in the bottom pasture hoping that he would fly over since the woods were thick and dark... i made a few soft clucks and yelps , and he would gobble everytime.... about 45 minutes later at 6 AM or so i heard him gobble , this time he was way up the hill on the other side of the stream , he flew uphill and was probaly in the small field in the middle of the woods..... I knew i had to take action so i got up , walked to the fenceline , and cut over the hill to where he roosts... I would call and he would gobble ... he was hott ... i closed within 75 yards and could see him strutting through the bushes.... i called softly and he worked in closer , at 60 yards he began to strut left to right , and did that back and forth for about 5-10 minutes... he then piveted and came straight at me at the sound of one soft cluck.... at this time i clicked off the safety , and got ready he came directly in to abot 30 yards but was behind a huge bush , at this time all i heard was a loud CLUCK and some putting , and he puffed down , and trotted directly away the way he had came in , not persenting a shot...

So the season is over for me , the birds r spooked now , and no sense in going out again now, maybe at like 10 or so ill hit the woods in a different spot.... but that is basically how my PA season has gone so far , MAYBE THIS FALL me and the " Tajamahal" gobbler will meet once again ...

He is called the "Tajamahal " gobbler becaus that is the name of the hallow he lives in , we dubbed it the TAJ halow becuase of a really big treestand we found in it that was all decayed and decrepide that was like the TAJAMAHAL of tree stands ... so we shall see this fall....

DL just wondering how long you have been turkey hunting and how many turkeys have you killed???

this was my third season , and none have fallen to me....

why do you ask Mr. Longbeard???

When you have private property that has turkeys it wont be long before you have a lot of turkey hunting buddy's that want to share there knowledge with ya
