Spitten and drummen

Well , yesterday was a tough one. Spent 4 hours working a bird and whiffed the shot. I was sick and disgusted. Didn't even post about it. Brushed myself off and went this morning. I was really early because my plan was to come in from a different direction. Almost 3 miles by gps. Crossed 2 creeks and traversed some tough hilly terrain. Sure enough 2 started gobbling about 150 yards from where I was yesterday. Worked them but they got quiet on the ground when hens showed up. I had heard one I figured about 600 yards north , so I moved that direction slowley. Set up and called a loud mouth hen to withen feet of me. Behind her two started gobbling but didn't follow her in. Sat tight and she eased off back towards them. They would gobble about every 10 minutes , so I sat tight to course the direction they were traveling. I moved around in a big loop and set up so they would be in range as soon as they popped up. Eventually fired the hen back up and she headed my way. She came roughly 5 yards from me. I could hear drumming behind her and the both crest the hill. I shot him at 15 yards with my 20ga. And 3" #9 tss loads. 10" beard , 1-1/8th spurs and 18lbs. Moral of story is turkey hunting is full of highs and lows.

Way to rebound. Great job.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
