Gus Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Saturday May 16 I had gone around the place trying to strike up a gobbler, but couldn’t get one to answer me so I decided I would go and sit by the feeder that the hogs had been coming to since it was a little cooler than it has been thinking maybe the hogs might show themselves during the day. I stick a few turkey calls in the pockets, grab the AR and the shotgun and go get in the stand. Ever so often I let out a few of my turkey sounds and all of a sudden there is one answering me across the creek, he sounded like he was coming my way so I just stayed in the stand, got the shotgun ready and tried my best to lure him my way. Well, little did I know I had another gobbler interested in my calling, while the one of the other side of the creek was talking to me I had a silent boy come in. It was like he just popped up in front of me out of nowhere, so now he is just about 15 yards away and wondering where the hen he had come looking for had gone. I got the 835 up to my shoulder and pointed in his direction about the same time he decided something was wrong and he was getting out of dodge, but he wasn’t fast enough to outrun the swarm of #4s headed in his direction. My silent bird ended up with a 6 inch beard and ¾ inch spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
