Post by: loner on March 12, 2011, 02:19:43 PM

great hunt with little gobbling except,when within 40 yards.he was in a thick pine thicket and i was on a fence line looking at a rye grass field.i had used three different calls over the last 45 minutes and he never gobbled until he got close to the fence bordering the thicket.i told myself,just don't move for anything if it is an hour. i could hear the drumming and was trained on the direction of the three gobbles. i saw his head bobbing and he ducked at a cluck and came under the fence into the rye grass looking for his hen.at 30 yards at 9.30am it was over.
