Title: IN bird falls
Post by: Double B on April 28, 2018, 11:49:48 AM
Took a nice 23 lb gobbler late morning yesterday on the National Forest. Had several hollering back along a creek bottom and finally got him around 10:45.  Just under 10" beard and 1 1/8" spurs.   Fooled him w a cane yelper made by Kevin Rouse, a member on here. This bird loved the yelp!  Double and triple gobbling right back when I cut him off with it.  First time I used that call in the woods, but won't be the last!   And I got him with the old Winchester model 120 that I had CNC convert the slug barrel, running their .660 choke.  Check the sling too Anobody custom.....thanks OG what a great group!  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180428/36e4c52aede991202b1260c917ea8b44.jpg)

Thanks I got that call off NWTF call contest auction.  I've been over using pot calls for years and trying some other call types.  Had the Winchester since I was a teenager but it's a different gun now. Only shot squirrels, clays and a few deer w it way back.  Just trying something different and it clicked ????
