So very close, yet still so far.

Called in a strutter this AM. He came 300 yds down a  grassy road in to 50 yds. I didn't have a shot due to branches. Then he walked in to the woods and strutted back and forth for an hour. He only gobbled once. I could hear him drumming the whole time. Then he vanished like a ghost. Close but no cigar!!
Exciting. Frustrating. Closest I've been to a gobbler since I was in Idaho last season with Hayudog.
I haven't given up. Still have 10 days left in SC. Might go to Georgia and even fly out west for a rematch with those stubborn Idaho gobblers.
It's been a rough 2 seasons, but it ain't from a lack of trying.

What is it about gobblers that they love to hang up at the 50 yard mark? Drives me nuts.  That's one of the reasons I switched to hevishot a few years ago. Keep at it Rut. It will happen.

Thx for the the update. It is so tough at times and that same bird may come in on a string on the very next day. Go figure.

My opener in NY is Tuesday and I will give it a shot. I hope this time that we have good weather. We had rain on a daily basis throughout the first week for two years in a row.

Best regards and good luck. I'm looking forward to reading your harvest report.
