First victim with new Buice

[Sixes]

Hunted yesterday at my lease in west Georgia and at daybreak the birds were hammering! I chased this old joker for 3 hours and 3 setups and with hens the whole time and he did not want to commit. I finally setup at the top of hill on our planted gasline where I thought they would eventually come out to feed. I was sitting over a blind hill and made a couple of calls with the new trumpet and heard the bird gobble and the hens answering me. I made another call a little bit later and heard a couple of different gobblers.

A couple of minutes later, I saw the fan coming over the hill and as soon as his head cleared the rise, I killed him.  Stood up and walked out and 4 other longbeards were skedaddling.  Guess I should of waited a minute or two more. Long spurs and thick beard.

Here is the bird and the gasline view.

Congrats man.  Glad your hunting with that yelper from Billy and having success.  They're on fire this year in GA.

Well done.  That's a fine gobbler alright.  That second picture is terrific.  Could see that in a calendar.
