Had a great hunt today, though I did not kill anything. It was my first time hunting on this farm, so I didn't really know where to go. I walked for a couple of hours before I got to where all the turkeys were. And then it was fun. Unfortunately, I didn't see any big birds this morning. But it was still great. I called a little guy with about a 4 inch beard up to me and he came almost smacking distance to me and he never saw me. He was so into my decoy that he didn't see me. He struted out in the field for about 10 minutes before a hen came. Once she came, they went off into a bottom. That's the first time I've ever called a gobbler out across a field. But, this is the first time I've ever used a decoy too. I see now why they are so important when hunting around fields. I could have killed the guy, but I'm trying for the long beards. This was clearly a young bird. He was so close, I could see his spurs, and they were like little nubs.
