Post Done a little Grocery Shopping this morning/ Fish and Gobble
Went out to my land this morning, not with very high hopes. Been in there 3 times this spring, and seemed to be only hens and jakes. At 5:50 I here a total of 4 gobblers sounding off. 3 seemed like strong long beard gobbles and one sounded like a jake. I headed for the closest strong gobbling bird. He was at the base of one ridge and I set up half way down a faceing ridge. I give a few soft yelps and he answered right away. I just waited then and he gobbled a few more times as I was waiting on fly down time. Things got quiet and all of a sudden he gobbled right below me. I clucked on my glass call and he double gobbled. I knew then that he was coming. Gun up and waiting, I was thinking to my self/ man this is a bad setup, I can only see about 25 yards out in front of me. Then I see that white head coming. He stopped behind a big tree and strutted. I just waited at the ready, then he stepped out and I ended the show. 20 yard shot and it was only 6 :20 AM. I then went trout fishing and got 6 nice brown trout and about a 3 pound bass. Great day to be outdoors !! :) :D

Great day for you. Congratulations. Good to hear stories from Va this year about birds gobbling as they come in. That aint happening in many areas of the Southeast this year
