this about sums up about the way i been doing . running all around here in Ky. trying to hereca gobble. on opening morning i had one gobbling a mecand i played my cards just right. , if i must say so i played them to right. lol. i had him fired up and i was scratching in leaves and calling in low tones and he was hammering . then things got quite so i said to mysel well he's on the way now , about 4 minutes i hadn't heard him so i. cut loose with some low yelps and purrs then i did a series of excited cackles and next thing i know that bird landed i bet 8-9 steps tight in front of me and was running as he landed right at me . needless to say i got excited and missed did sayvat 7 yards , he wheeled around and was heading out and me being rattled over mom freaking me out i finally found a smell and i'd say he was about 40 yatdscand i finally got the shell in the chamber and blazed but it was a no go. ever since opening mornings happening i have not heard a gobblecatvall. thevbetter half wanted to come to Tenn. a day or two and i needed a break so we came. I do however have a new spot to go hunt when i get back Wed. I'll keep y'all posted . I apologize for my lack of participation with the team. i beg your forgiveness .
