NY Gobbler down, tagged out!!!

[jordanz7935]

I put a close to my turkey season this morning!! Yesterday i had a bird gobbling good in the pasture i was hunting but he was around a corner and out of sight but within 100 yds. I got him fired up good with the mouth call and gave him the silent treatment.5 minutes later i hear a gobble directly behind me. I slowly turn and lock eyes with a gobbler who was behind and above me @15 yards. He saw something he didnt like and tucked back over the rise never to be seen again.Dang i hate when that happens.Fast forward to today i went back to the same spot and had a bird gobbling in the tree within 175yds. I thought he had flown down up the hill as i heard gobbles getting farther and farther away. I decided to stay patient and stick wth my setup. Around 6:00 i had some hens and a jake fly down 80 yds away so i hit them with the mouth call to see if i could get a gobbler fired up. As im watching these birds i hear the dreaded Putt-Putt,directly behind me,again! I turn and see his read head goin through the brush 20yds behind me.He quickly disappears over the knoll just like yesterday.I said to myself im not gonna let this happen again and as quickly and quietly as possibble shed my vest and started to crawl up behind my setup trying to intercept him. Half way up to the knoll he dissapeared over i hear a few more putts so that gave away his location and i crawled up as fast as possible and got to the crest just in time to see him go behind some briars. I was waiting for him with a Sumtoy choked 870 20 ga when he reappeared from the briars! As soon as he came back into view i let out a few soft yelps and he picked his head up and the 870 barked! He was between 35-40yds and it folded him right up!Im tagged out now but it has been a great season. Now its time to try and get my younger brothers #2 tag filled and hunt with friends.18 lbs,9" beard,3/4" spurs
