slughunter Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I went out scouting this morning, I was set up right between 2 roosted flocks. They flew down right in the middle which was right on top of me. At one point I had a gobbler in full strut in front me at 6 yards. They were gobbling all morning, on the roost and on the ground. In all there were 6 gobblers and 3 jakes in that flock. Then I checked another field and there were 4 gobblers and a couple jakes. Im pumped for season to roll around. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slughunter Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Although I didnt kill one I figured I would share this with you guys: Finally was able to get a kill on video. We were set up against a deep (20 foot, Sheer drop) drainage ditch/fence line with a corn feild in front of us and a narrow corn feild behind us on the other side of the ditch, and everything was surounded by huge wooded bluffs. There were birds gobbleing all around us but the ones we expected to fly down in the feild went up the bluff and over the hill. My cousin (the shooter) wanted to call but at about 6:15am he said that I should give it a try. I gave them a Primo mouth call yelp and three gobblers sounded off behind us about 200 yards away up the feild but it was too thick to see them. Five minutes later I called again and they gobbled instantly, a little closer. This went on until 6:35 when my cousin finally took the lead tom. The strangest part about this hunt was the fact that I was able to get them to cross that deep deep drainage ditch. Everyone says they hate crossing obsticles like this but they didnt seem to waste anytime coming over. Let me know what you think, I didnt put as much time into editing as I should have so it can get slow in some parts but the ending is the most exciting. Sorry about the low quality too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EDTceXCDJM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
