Quote from: Number17 on March 04, 2021, 08:54:23 AMI'm so thankful for the guys that don't have the patience to kill a silent bird. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.There is something uniquely satisfying about about having a gobbler come in silent to your calls after the other guys hopped in their trucks and headed for breakfast because "they were all henned up".The majority of my biggest spurs have come off mostly silent birds. It's not even close.I watched a big Tom strut and spin for over three hours at 150 yards. He was in a field with a chunk of timber separating us. I kept telling my Dad I could see him and to just be patient. Every call I sent his way would make him puff up and spin. Finally he decided to break strut and I told Dad to keep his eyes on the deer trail coming through the brush. He covered 150 yards in 10 minutes, broke out of the cover, and ripped off a booming gobble at 15 yards before Dad took his head off. Dad said, "If it wasn't for you, I'd have left 2 hours ago."

I think it's pretty awesome myself.Hard charging loudmouths are a lot of fun too, but anybody can kill them.

It's much more difficult to kill a silent bird.
Quote from: Greg Massey on February 26, 2021, 12:00:40 PMHow do you hunt them? If you know birds are definitely in the area and they are not gobbling after sunrise, do you stay in the area or do you leave and go to the Quick Stop for breakfast?
