Tennessee opening day silent gobbler

[catman529]

Birds were very quiet yesterday. Spot #1 produced nothing even though it's completely tore up with birds.

Got to spot #2 after lunch at 1pm. That urge hit me so I had to take care of business, and then went to the top of a small hill and sat in the shade of a cedar tree. I yelped a few times and waited.

Not 5 minutes later here comes a small flock...2 hens, red head, another red head, more hens...I saw the beard one one of the toms so I waited for him to stop in a clear spot and I shot him dead.

It's my heaviest bird at 23 lbs 9 oz. healthy 2 year old. No gobbling or strutting, they were weird after the big cold front.

I'm gonna take that Bacon call with me and try to call one in with it soon. I always use the wingbone but gotta switch it up a little.
