Sneaky Gobbler does a 'Wing Tap'

[gobblergetter]

This morning started out with two Jakes responding to calls from three fields away.I could see them the whole time and they were practically running to get to 'her'.

After shooing them away, I hit the other side of the hill and got a single reponse from a Gobbler.  This was a much different hunt.

He only gobbled once and came in silent and slow,,,,Soft yelps and clucks were his demise.

Excellent Mike...I always learn from your posts,I've been a victim of standing up and scaring the silent bird away a couple of times.

That's the way a lot of my turkey hunts go. Not sure if it's the pressure of public land, or just older, smarter birds. Sometimes I'll get those rowdy, hollar at everything birds, but most the time they are tight-lipped and unwilling to give away their location. Smart buggers! The fired up birds are the most exciting hunts, but any turkey is delicious!

 

Congrats on killing "Tommy Talk-Once" Mike. Been a beautiful Spring so far and love to see all the success stories so far.
