Well Scratchbox mania has hit Ohio and left them with one less gobbler, What a fantastic 3 days, Big Thanks to Roy,Mark and Chad for a great time fellowship, food and fellowship...We heard lots of birds had many encounters, Ohio first 2 weeks hunting is done at noon so after the hunt we jumped on the fishing! We caught lots of crappie and had a big fish fry one night along with some dandy Morels we picked the 2nd day..The last morning Roy and i went back to a spot we had a hot bird the day before but a coyote ruined our fun! we sat up that morning and the woods were silet...I got that sinking tag sandwich feeling in my stomach. Roy suggested we skirt the property on our was out and call a little, we headed to the North end of the Property, I played the scratcher and Boom! a distant gobble not close but we had something, I waited a minuted called again and Big Boy is closing the distance...I popped up the DSD hen jumped behind a log and Roy got the video rolling...This is how it all unfolded, less than 4 minutes from the first gobble we heard...Man I love this stuff!! thats number 6 with the scratchbox this year! Enjoy thanks Tim
