this one came from national forest this morning. no gobbling early ,but about 9:00 a bird answered me from way out the mountain. so i go to him. gave a few soft calls, no response. so i sat down beside a good tree and called again- this time he nearly blew my hat off. i called once more and he gobbled. i then did not call anymore( as much as i love to make turkeys gobble it attracts a lot of attention on nat. forest land). but my plan back-fired. he went into a gobbling fit like a bird with turrets syndrome. he litterally came down the logging road going pfft-vrooomm-gobble, pffft- vroomm gobble gobble. at times he was triple gobbling. he done this all the way to within twenty yards, then i wadded him up. he was 18 lbs. 9" beard and 3/4" spurs. needless to say it was a great and beautiful morning in the turkey woods. |

I've always been told those later gobbling birds are more likely to come in. Way to go and way to stick with it. Congrats. |
