outdoorsmen1 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well i posted a story of me callin in a turkey for my buddy about a week ago. Well i went by myself this mornin on a spot i got permission to hunt a few days ago. it has a HUGE cutover. well i wasnt positive where the birds were roosting so i got in kinda early. there were a few spots i thought they might be roosted at, well i stopped in the cutover about 75 yards from the treeline which backed up to a river, and about 100 yards to either side of the other wood line(the cutover is a square pretty much). well i got down on a knee cause the grass was somewhat tall, and waited to hear what i wanted to hear, a gobble. well i got itchy not hearing anything for a little bit, and just as i was about to get up and creep my way to the tree line to move on, i just happend to look at my left up in a tree where i saw a black spot, and it was like as soon as it ran through my head that that black spot might be a turkey, he gobbled. craziest thing ever. i laid down flat on my back so he couldnt see me, and at this point i was pretty much in the middle of the cutover and i could see this bird through the binoculars, but he NEVER saw me, i was about 100 yards away and not very concealed. i was surprised he didnt see me. well i called to him very little because i thought he had hens with him. right before 7 he flew down STRAIGHT to me through this cutover. i yelped and clucked and purred just once. just hung up a little bit and didnt gobble, so i didnt call. he couldnt stand it, and gobbled, so i purred back at him and clucked, and that was all the calling i did. i could only see 30 yards infront of me because of the grass, and he worked in like a charm, gobbling about 10 times or so. dropped him at 20 yards, he had an 11inch beard, 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 inch spurs, and weighed a whopping 24 pounds, my best bird for sure. he was dead right at 7. i love it! thanks for reading..
