We got soaked and skunked in the Illinois youth hunt. Struck out the next weekend for the Missouri youth hunt. It all came together this morning for Illinois second season on public ground
Heard birds roosted along the ridge across the creek. We got up to the other side about 100 yards from where they gobbled. Set the decoy out, set up my chair and sat down. A turkey gobbled 80 yards from out spot and we could see him on the limb. He strutted back and forth on it. I have no idea how he didn't see us get set up. He flew down and gobbled maybe twice but never budged from where he flew down.
It was time for the silent treatment. Set the calls down and 10 minutes later he was at 30 yards sneaking in. Wyatt let the #6 LBXR's fly. Glad he got it done after a tough youth season.

Nice job, Wyatt. I hope you still have another Illinois season permit. I get three every year and really enjoy matching wits with gobblers!
Awesome! Congrats!
