RatherBowHunt Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 This was my first bird....i got set up about 150 yards away from him and as soon as i heard the first bird of the morning fly down i let out a fly down cackle and about 6 yelps.....as soon as i did that i heard him fly down....soo i cutted a few times to pump him up and then i just scratched the leaves from then on doing some very very light clucks and purrs and i had two strutters come up and i shot the biggest of the two...the other one had beard rot and only had about a 7 inch beard....but mines stats ended up being 22lbs. 10 inch beard...and 1 inch spurs....
