I use to do a little turkey hunting up around coushatta. They had a pretty good population up that way.

Well the bad thing is that as of right now I don't have another I one that's gobbling. I saw 5 Jakes yesterday and 3 this morning. So I will be going to just listen for one to start gobbling.

The one I killed yesterday he gobbled 4 times on the limb and 3 on the ground. He was coming in to me and 7 hens cut him off. I went back yesterday evening and got there about 4:30 eased in and set up. About every 15-20 min I would call lightly at 5:30 I heard him gobble and right after that I got the sudden urge to take a leak.  About  6:10 I couldn't take it anymore I eased up on my knees and proceeded to handle my business. About the time I got finished I heard a one drum. I peaked out around the tree and the hens spotted me and took off. They flew up in a tree about 75 yards and started trying to check and see what moved, I thought I blew it. I already had got the gun back in my hands by then, I just stayed still and was prepared to stay like that until dark. Well with nothing to loose I decided to take my hands and rake in the leaves. Well time I did, it wasn't  10 sec. I heard him drum again and saw him easing toward me. I let him come on in until I had a good shot and them I let the old 835 eat with a 3.5-2-5 turkey thug @ around 20 steps . It wiped him out.
