I tagged out with my second tom this season. I setup at 8:30 am and started to "cold call" on my box every 20 minutes. At 9:30 am I hear what sounds like a turkey bolting through the woods. Sure enough a hen comes out of the tree line and starts circling my single hen decoy strutting and purring her little heart out (
I had never seen a hen strut to assert her dominance, very cool behaviour). Moments later I hear another turkey running through the woods and as soon as it breaks the tree line he puts on a show strutting, spitting, and drumming. I waited for him to take a few step into the field and knocked him down with a single shot from 25 yards.
20 lbs.
