Title: 1st of 2017 (Ontario)
Post by: 4n2t0 on May 15, 2017, 01:49:36 PM
I called this guy in from two fields away. I couldn't spot him but the gobbling kept getting closer. 45 minutes later I spot a hen so I start calling to her and she responds with some yelps, clucks, and purrs so we talk to each other for a while. All of a sudden I hear a loud gobble. The hen had him by the proverbial balls and he was going wherever she led him. I still can't see him but he's just around the corner and I can hear him spitting and drumming. Finally he comes into sight but he won't come into my decoy setup, he's content with strutting around the real hen. I watch this go on for 10 minutes and realize that he's not going to give me an easy shot. He's at my far right so I wait for 1-2 yards of separation from the hen and take him with an awkward shot at 20 yards.
