All set up. Gobbles from every direction.  Hen clucking to my left. Time for a few sweet purrs.

Are you bowhunting?

Hunter1979

Yep.  Brought the shotgun just in case... I'd hate for a smokey Tom to hang up at 30yds and I couldn't do a thing about it!

Well, that was short. Haha.
Had a Tom start coming from behind me. He kept gobbling away and inching closer and closer.  Came right into the Hen, not the Jake, which was weird.  Finally, at full strut he turned and I drew back.  Don't know exactly what went wrong, I'm guessing just nerves, but I hit low and back.  He jumped off, but then turned around and came right back.  I picked up the shotgun, as I wasn't taking any chances, and have him a dirt nap.
1 1/8" spurs, 8 1/4" beard 22lbs.  Short season!
