Finally Heard A Bird

Season came in last sat. and have not heard a bird until today.  But, No gobbling on the roost as usual.  I was standing against a big tree listening hopeful of a gobble and up through the woods about 150 yds I see a turkey.  I made a couple of soft calls and I saw the bird turn in my direction and at about 1/2 the way to me he gobbles and I answer softly.  The next time he gobbles he is no closer but moving lateral to me.  He then gobbles 1 or 2 times more as he moved below me at about 80-90 yds and gobbles once more and I think he went underground.  Very slow so far.

Genesis 27:3 - Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

Ridge Reaper,  I forgot about the jake I heard.  He was on private ground close enough to a house that kids were crowing like a rooster and making him gobble.  When the school bus came he shut up.  I am afraid to get too close as the place looks like something out of Deliverance.  We'll see what he does in the AM.  3:30 AM wakeups are wearing this old spring chicken.  They stocked the 2 streams here today.  I don't mess with them.
