Been a tough year for me in GA. Pulled up to a piece of public to see two trucks parked on a gate. That really surprised me for a Tuesday morning towards the end of season. I decided to go about 20 minutes away to a small piece of private that I haven't heard a bird on in a few years. Eased in and heard this fella gobbling a bit across the creek. So I set up with just a few clucks and yelps from my Bob Buckner adjustable I had him and a hen in my lap. Thankful to get to Kill a Georgia bird this year I was begining to think it wouldn't happen.

This late in the game a gobbler might show up anywhere. Congratulations.

Congrats man!
The GA gobblers been kicking my butt this season as well. Missed one I have been after in a spot that's only held one gobbler for the past few seasons. Same one, pretty likely and he was the only really good consistent gobbling GA turkey I've been on this year. Last year I hunted him once early season, then had a trip and didn't hunt him until last 2 weeks and he gobbled hard each of the 4 tries up until May 15. Really bummed to miss him and he's gotten a lot quieter afterwards, more nomadic and even harder this year. Got one 3 weeks ago in another spot from same area that came in quiet with 3 hens. Other than that been really hit or miss and mostly miss on 4 different places I've been.
Had one good morning hunt last Wednesday on another area and then another day and half of silence after that. Your post gives me some motivation to try one more hunt before the buzzer sounds. Maybe I can pull off a half court lob or hail mary bomb to close it out.

Nice bird, congrats.
This season has been a bit off in Georgia compared to last year, so I totally understand where you are coming from. Happy for you that you got a good one here at the end and it sounds like the kind of hunt that brought a lot of satisfaction.

Congrats!
And, it seems that no one works in Georgia anymore. No matter the time of day, people seem to be everywhere.
