finally got er done

[bmhern]

Got up yesterday morning,I could hardly walk so I thought about not going,but its over here Sunday. I am pretty much a run @ gun hunter since I hunt pine forrests , no fields not many food plots,about the only open areas are the power line right of ways. I set up a blind there a while back so I could take my grandkids. I figured I could sit in a chair ther a while and see if my back would ease off.
So I get there set up my funky chicken and hen,, (I've not used them much cause its too thick almost everywhere)get in the blind. I sit a few minutes then I do some calling. Now I'm 60 yes old and my hearing is not what it used to be.I didnt hear anything, so I waited about 30 minutes and yelped again, I thought I heard a gobble way off , well I must be hearing things about 30 more minutes goes by I call again, this time I'm pretty sure I hear him still a long way off. Normally I would cut out after this guy but I just can't today, I'll just have to wait. I waited a little bit longer and decided something needs to happen cause my back is killing me, so I put my mouth yelper in and get my crystal out cause he is still a long way off. Now I grew up when turkey hunting was yelp 3 times and wait , so I still don't do a lot of calling,but it was time to make it happen, one way or the other. So I started yelping cutting cackleing  and I mean long and loud. I got done laughed at myself and thought  "What would grandaddy think about that) .Well I sat there about 10 minutes and he gobbled right behind me, I just about jumped out ta that chair. I grabbed my gun ,got turned to the side he was coming from, I waited and waited and waited. All of a sudden I heard a racket  I turned and looked,well like they like to do he had circled me and was kicking my funky chickens tail. I had to shoot him to save him,so I gave him a dose of #6 longbeards. So that was a first for me, maybe I'll try those things again someday!!!

There is a two trail road that goes down the power line, he fell about 15 yards from it.
