Alabama Opener...

[BHMTitan]

What a beautiful opening day of season.  Didn't hear anything at first light, but after moving along the ridge for about half a mile, heard one on the far side of the next ridge over.  Dropping down the side of my ridge, I moved along the creek a little to line up with a little hardwood flat that I knew was at the top of the next ridge.  Easing up to the top of the that ridge I picked out a nice oak, and heard the gobbler sound off as I was getting settled.  With a few raspy yelps, he hammered back hard.  After about two minutes he gobbled again, closer and a little to the right of where he was previously, so I adjusted the gun on my knee.  Another run of yelps, nothing... but I did catch movement a little to my right, focusing in that direction I see his blue head coming up over the crest of the ridge.  He turns and takes about 5 steps towards me, then turns back to my right.  I give three quick yelps to stop him and he stretches him neck out just right.....
