Got on a bird around 7:15 this morning that my little gal & I tried on youth day and I tried this past Saturday.
He was about 500 yards across the valley on the property behind mine. It was a mixture of woods and field between him & me.
I got him all wound up a couple times at that distance (I don't have permission for that property.........guy doesn't care for me much). Someone else was on that property about 100 yards to the right of the gobbling bird. Didn't know it til I fired him up then they started to call. I was expecting the heated up bird to head toward the other guy. I wouldn't even expect him to thank me for cranking his bird up for him.
But the bird went cold and evidently the other fellow left. Around 9:00-ish I got out my slate. I had been calling with a diaphragm off & on with no response. Rolled some yelps off the slate and he HAMMERED. Still in the same place 500 yards across the neighbor's property.
Wellllllll.................. very long story short, the bird had come the whole way across (and actually a little farther) and brought a girlfriend with him. At 10:40 2 oz. of #6's went 39 yards out through my woods to loosen up 2014 spring turkey tag #1.
A 2 year old. 21 lbs, 9 1/2" 3/4" spurs.
