Title: Soggy Morning Va. Gobbler
Post by: SS Calls on April 25, 2017, 11:03:12 AM
Well, it's been rainy here for days! Josh and I haven't hunted since Friday. Finally got out this morning thinking it was gonna be dry, and here come's the showers. Birds were quiet on the roost and only heard a couple gobbles on the ground. Around 7:30 I was cold calling on a slate and got a hen really bothered. She kept getting more irritated the more I called. Finally she broke and came to us. There were two hens with her and this old boy bringing up the rear. Josh scores #2 for the season! Great bird. Two beards, 10 1/4" & 7 3/4".. Both spurs 1 3/8"

Thanks guys!! We've had a blast so far this season. Not a lot of gobbling, so we've had to change things up a little. Hope to get some hard gobbling birds once the hens are nesting.
