Another sucessful morning
After getting my son a bird yesterday me and my boss took off to the woods this morning. At day break a gobbler sounded of about 200 yds so we went about 50 yds to sit up on him. He answered all my calls but the hens started up everywere and went straight to him. We decided to readjust or position and i hit him with a yelp and he cut me off. We sat there for at least 1 hour which watch him strut for a solid 45 min. until he finally got into range. We started working this bird at 6:15 and my boss shot him at 9:05. This was an exciting hunt. The bird weighed in at 21.5 lbs and had a 9.5 inch beard with 1 inch spurs.
