Title: First Alabama bird
Post by: catman529 on March 24, 2019, 11:48:07 PM
Lucked into a lonely late morning bird on Saturday. Actually hunted the same bird all morning off the roost. But he had no interest until 10am and I killed him around 11:45 am. My first Alabama bird. Heard 5 or 6 toms on the roost in all directions, none of them were close. This was the 2nd closest at 600-800 yard from my listening spot. He was within 100 yards of my final setup. He sure played games with me but finally came strutting into 25 yards. 3 miles from the truck.

Going to have video up soon.

Congrats!  Looking forward to watching.  I'm glad there are guys out there that have the patience for self filming their hunts.  I image taking on that challenge no doubt has cost some birds.

Congratulations. Can't wait to watch the video tonight after work. I liked seeing Dave and Chubbs, THP, and yourself in one camp. Basically half of the good turkey hunting channels on youtube in one camp together. Y'all keep up the good work!

I like how you just go out with your wingbone. It's crazy how many calls some people carry. I'm a little guilty of this myself. I was listening to a primos podcast and they were talking about all the stuff they carry in their vest. It was a little ridiculous in my opinion. You can tell they don't walk very far haha.

I've never hunted with a vest myself. Carrying the tripod and camera is already more than I like to carry. I finally got some binocs but still haven't hunted with them yet! Usually I have 1 or 2 calls in my pocket for backup, but couldn't find a good striker for one and need to get more mouth calls for my other backup so I just ran with the wingbone.
