What an opening day experience. Last night I had roosted two birds and this morning set up on them 100yds away on a pipeline. Around 7:30 they flew down and where 60yds away. I did some soft calling & everything was going good until a hen flew straight to them. The gobbler & Jake would gobble but not leave the hen who was by 8:30 pulling them away with her. I tried to stalk them and was doing OK but for every yard gained it seemed as if they were pulling away. I decided to gamble (already walked about 4.5 miles) and ran straight toward them. The gobblers ran straight downhill off the pipeline on one side and the hen on the other side.
I gave them about 15 minutes and started to call. Immediately I heard them both gobble about 150 yards downhill. I called again multiple times and could here them getting closer. Being patient, I wasn't going to call again when I thought they were about 70 yards away. Within minutes I seen the white and red heads coming through the brush. At 36 yards when they were in full strut the 870 and Turkey Thugs size 6 got to eat. Not my biggest bird but still a nice bird. 8.5in beard, 1in spurs and weighed 18lbs 12oz....

Good Bird!

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons. However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Congrats on a good bird.. He'll do just fine!!
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.
