On a Big Tn Gobbler............
April Fools haha sorry fellars had to. But in reality.....
Had an amazing hunt and morning in the woods this morning. Bird we were after didnt gobble till about 730 well after daylight. Gobbled once on the roost and pitched into the middle of a field, and began lightin the world on fire. To say he was hot is an understatement. We got set up not 100 yards away and all he had to do was come around a small clump of trees and be in my lap. Well that didnt happen we battled him for 2 hours right there. He just wouldnt break his strut zone. He finally got spooked out of the field by something but not sure which. He came right through my area at 50 yards, but I couldnt swing quick enough. He hit the ridge and went quite for close to 10 mins. We just sat tight and knew he wasnt with a hen so he would be fired up agian soon. He finally gobbled half way up the ridge. We made the move and had him back within 70 yards but once again wouldnt break his zone to come check the hen. After 3 hours of battling this ol boy his girlfriend found her way back to him and took him away. We didnt get a bird but man that will definatley be a very memorable hunt! Nothing better.

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.

Ya it was definately a hunt to remember. My buddy and I actually chuckled on our second set up when we realized he was breaking his zone again.
