stick Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I limited out! The day started really bad, 20mph winds and cloudy. I didn't hear a single bird gobble all morning in the same place that I put 3 birds to roost last night. I got about 50yds from where they should have been. and started calling. After 2 hours I hadn't heard anything, and decided to run and gun. by 10:00am I still hadn't heard anything and was getting frustrated. And then it happened, at 10:15 I heard thunder, and then seven diffrent birds let loose. I started running toward the closest one and came to a big open field, about 300yds out in the field there he was strutting and gobbling. There was a little bunch of persimon trees about 100yds out toward the bird and all the grass was about 12in. tall. So I started crawling after about 15min. I made it to the trees and sat my hen decoy right on the edge moving only when the tom was strutting away from me. As soon as I got the decoy up, I started calling and the bird spun around and ran right to my decoy. When the bird finally stoped so I could get a shot he was 8 steps away and strutting for my hen, He really fell head over heels after I lowered the boom. He weighed 19lbs 10in beard both spurs 1 1/8in. Thanks to all of the guys and gals on this board because this season I have put all of yall's advice too use, and see what it got me. Thanks everyone!
