Florida swamp hunt

[Old Gobbler]

Had a good time this season , although tied up with family and work I managed to have a great season


- I started to cruz the area doing bump and go calling - I pulled in quite a few hens untill I cut into the cypress and sneaked in and set up










Snuck in and gave two sharp cuts off one of my self made push pins - and he sounded off - sat down quickly and and gave out some tramp yelps and pulled the gobbler and a hen into a 25 yard shot - the log he is laying on he was standing behind and I cut to make him stick his head up for a classic over the log head shot , down he went - he was sporting a long set of hooks and I was all to glad to call him up





 The call is Gabon Ebony {sap wood}push pin I make with a Ivory "lucky" poker dice as a lanyard stop - this call has really performed for me well this season - I plan on making more like this in the future  = this call in unique in the fact it has a jet black with blond sap wood , most people want all black ebony , but saved this piece to make a unique call for myself

Good job OG!!! Love those pics!! They have Osceola gobbler written all over them. Most people don't get to hunt and kill gobblers in that kind of terrain. Sounds like you closed out the season in style!!
