Spring Creek Calls

I started my season in Tennessee on April 4, then to Missouri for their opener and back home to Michigan for our May 6 second season opener. In that time span I've had no less than 5 gobblers very close and not one in a position where I could shoot it. Until this morning. With the help of my bloodwood over limba box and a live hen yelping and cutting back and forth, this gobbler finally walked in and presented the shot I've been waiting for for nearly 6 weeks. In those 6 weeks I experienced a lot of bad luck (mostly due to hens) and mistakes, but a lot of really cool stuff you can only get by sitting motionless in the spring woods, including a couple nice bunches of morels. There are still a couple states open and I may not be ready to hang it up yet.

A big thanks to twyatt for selling me back the box which won first place in this year's Mountain State Competition!

Congrats man! That`s a beautiful bird and morel ! " Cool stuff you can only get by sitting motionless in the spring woods ". Preach it !  I think that`s why, in general, I like to still hunt more than trying to race all over the woods. Not being critical by any means of you guys who run and gun. Just different strokes!
