HUNTINGMAN Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hey guys,how's it going? I haven't been on here in a while but thought I would stop by and post a pic of my gobbler I got yesterday.Well I got to go out for just the second time this season and had some luck. This may be long but I'm excited,sorry. I was debating on going fishing or turkey hunting last night but after seeing what the weather was going to be I went turkey hunting. I got to the farm at 6:30 this morning and there were some birds were already gobbling on the rooste. I went to a centrally located area in a cow pasture and set up in a clump of trees. I break out the gobble shaker and add a few with some light hen sounds. I here one getting closer and on the other side of the feild I see this big white head through a rose bush,I get my gun up and get ready. He stopped about 75 yards away and was eating something,I watched him for 30 min and he was comeing my way. Then a cow come from the holler and pushed him back from where he came. He got in the holler and I made a move to the other end of the feild and set back up with hopes he would come back out. He came back out but was about 40 yards down the ridge and I never seen him,he was makeing his way across some points on the front of the farm and gobbling the whole time. I had an idea where he was going because I had turkeys do this before. I made another move back to the truck and dropped off the decoy and proceeded down the holler to cut him off. I heard him gobble a couple more times so I snuck um a cow path to see if I could see him,there he was 25 yards away and walking slowly. I got my gun up and took the shot,he hit the ground and was mine. He weighed 25lb,had an 11" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. I got him at 8:00 so now I'm fishing on cedar creek lake and. Asking in the happiness of the kill. Now to get a fish,hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
