Finally made it happen about 10:00 this morning. He busted me the first try, so I backed out gave him a couple hours and snuck back in. Went about 60 yards past where I last saw him and set down. Made a series of purrs and clucks and bam right to my left off the side of the road. How he did not see are hear me walk in I'll never know!  Came in through some thick pines putting on a show. Took him at around 40 yards federal HW 7's in the 20 gauge knocked him flat. It was honestly a couple minutes before he even flopped. Great hunt lasted about 7 minutes from the time I sat down until I shot.

Thanks that hunt started bad because I have terrible hearing lol. I walked to the forks in the road let out some yelps on the box call, and heard him gobble though he was quite a ways off. Walked to the gate to call so I could get a good bearing on him before I moved to set up. Let off some more yelps and he blew my cap off. I made a quick move to the left side of the road and about me stride he stepped out in the road about 70 yards Well I froze best I could he was with some hens and they didn't putt , but kinda just snuck off the road. I set there for a little while not calling until it felt safe to back out. I was pretty upset I misjudged the distance, and figured I had lost this bird. So I tried some other spots just listening for a couple hours. Decided to try him again and hope for the best, and I'm glad I did!
