Turkey #1 down 3/17/11 (Pics Posted)

[HoggleGobble]

Smoked this gobbler around 7:45 this morning. Gobbled on the roost for about 10 mins. Gave him a fly down cackle and he shut up. I thought I called a lil loud, because he wasn't saying a word. 5 mins after I did the fly down cackle he flew not 10 yards about my head out into the field and landed about 15 yards from me. I was facing the wrong direction and had to watch him strut and gobble for around 45 minutes until I could move to get a shot on him. One of the best hunts I've had in a long time. I'm kinda glad I couldn't move, because he gobbled his brains off and strutted constantly for 45 mins not 20 yards from me. I was going   ... He probably gobbled 200 times. Good bird, but I shot some of his beard off. Oh yeah, those Houndstooth Game calls are SWEET!!!!
