Some of you saw my review on a slate pot call I got in the mail yesterday from eddie wynne. I took a weeks vacation for opening of ms season. Killed a bird Thursday . I had to come back to town yesterday and found my persimmon slate along with 2 strikers from eddie wynne. Ran the call and was very impressed. Put it right in the vest to hunt it today. This morning heard half a dozen birds scattered about and set up on one. Never called to him on the limb. Finally he flew down and i gave a soft 4 yelp series followed by a couple of clucks. He double gobbled and started my way. I put the call down and eased off the saftu. I could hear him drumming hard , but could not see him. About then 2 hens literaly came running past me about 20 yards away. You guessed it , they went straight to old boy and he never gobbled again. I moved and ended up setting up on him 5 times before pulling the trigger. I ended up looping around and got on a sloping hardwood ridge in front of them. I yelped and clucked very softly about every 15 min and i heard faint drumming. Couldnt tell which direction so i remained rock still with my 20 ga on my knee. Out of the corner of my right eye i caught movement and a white softball sized head gliding by in full strut. 19 yards I squeezed the trigger. My 20 ga and tss killed him stone dead. He never flopped. Dropped on my knees and thanked the good lord above for these beautiful birds , seeing another beautiful sunrise, and him giving me the health to be able to hunt them. 5 days in season and I only have 1 tag left. He weighed 23-1/2 lbs. 11" beard and 1-3/8" spurs. When I cleaned him , I Found about a dozen pellets from last season or longer in his breast. 2 days left on my vacation. I dont know if I will shoot another as I want to try to save it for later in season. If I dont kill another , its ok. I have had a good year and would not complain.
