Title: Turkey #1 down 3/17/11 (Pics Posted)
Post by: HoggleGobble on March 17, 2011, 05:52:48 PM
Smoked this gobbler around 7:45 this morning. Gobbled on the roost for about 10 mins. Gave him a fly down cackle and he shut up. I thought I called a lil loud, because he wasn't saying a word. 5 mins after I did the fly down cackle he flew not 10 yards about my head out into the field and landed about 15 yards from me. I was facing the wrong direction and had to watch him strut and gobble for around 45 minutes until I could move to get a shot on him. One of the best hunts I've had in a long time. I'm kinda glad I couldn't move, because he gobbled his brains off and strutted constantly for 45 mins not 20 yards from me. I was going  :character0029: :character0029:... He probably gobbled 200 times. Good bird, but I shot some of his beard off. Oh yeah, those Houndstooth Game calls are SWEET!!!!

Reads like an excellent hunt. Must of been like pins and needles having him that close, and not being able to get around on him.

Congrats!!

God Bless,
