Went to the woods after work. Stopped by my wife's uncles place. I used to murder gobblers here. In fact my largest ever Georgia bird came off of here. Only 55 acres. I haven't hunted it in about 7 years. Last year I started seeing sign again. I walked in and saw sign everywhere. I started cutting and one cut me off. He was close and coming. I put the decoy out and sat down. I hit the call again and he was on top of me. Right in front of me was a split tree with a fork and I got movement on the other side. He came in and stood there and strutted at 25 yards. Won't budge. He was HUGE. I could see his head plain as day but didn't want to shoot through the fork....he'll I thought he would come. He turned and walked out the same way gobbling. I haven't been nervous with a bird in a long time, but that one had me breathing hard. Might be because of where it's at. At any rate.....I'll be there again this evening to get after it.
Sounds exciting. Go get him.
