Watched this bird close to roost time yesterday evening and knew pretty much where he should be for this morning. Got in there early and tight, sure enough at the crack of dawn he rattled off at @80 yards and continued to gobble at least 70 more times, when he hit the dirt I gave a 3 note yelp and he came running. He was dead 2 minutes after his feet hit the dirt. Awesome morning.

I have only done it once and it was pure coincidence. Bird roosted where he hadnt roosted all season and was only 30 yards from the blind at daylight. 30 seconds after flydown he was done. Congrats on a great kill.
Gotta love it. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Cogratulations!!!! Gotta like those quick one's!!!
Awesome .Lee :icon_thumright:
Congrats!! He is a dandy..That picture looks like a stinkin' postcard. It is beautiful!! Mike
Excellent picture! Congrats on a fine bird
Makes it feel easy when it works doesnt it!!
One of my main tactics is to roost a bird night before slide in WAY early close enough the roost to see him on the limb once its light.
give him a few yelps as he's about to fly down and let him strut for about 20 seconds thinking life is grand and hammer him. killed at least 5 within a minute of being on the ground

Congrats :icon_thumright: Nice pic. Did you take it by yourself? I need to take better pics but it is hard by yourself.
bitter sweet victory congrats
I love to get under a roosted bird. Every now and them it backfires though. I had a bird that was roosting on the river that I couldn't kill. Some boys accross the river had called him so much that he was totaly call shy. One morning I slipped in and found him roosted. I slid down next to a old rock fence and planned to wait him out. As the sun came up he stared straight at me and turned on hte limb then flew accross the river. He lived through that year.......................
Yep I take the pics by myself, I have a small 5 inch mini tripod I keep in my vest that comes in handy.

One of the best is always make sure you are facing the sun, never have the sun facing the camera lens.....us the 10 sec timer
