Run N Gun/ Shooting Like a Girl

[Greg]

Finally got the wife on a bird, took 3 years but finally got one called in.  Koble slate call did the trick.

Started in spot A where I had fresh sign yesterday right before the storms came though. Not a peep there. Packed up headed for spot C, but decided spot B first as I scored a jake there monday.

Giant loop around the area, seen a few fresh tracks that had to be earlier today but no answers to my yelps. Last fresh sign we saw, 10 minutes from truck decided to veer off into the bush a wee bit and got a gobble back. Had to be not much more than 80 yards out. Couple more yelps and some purring got him under 20yards and she filled her tag.

Thanks all. It was a tough day of silence, and 7 miles of walking as I was told.  Couldn't have asked for a better bird for her 1st.

Only shame is being so windy couldn't hear if he was drumming n spitting or not. I had to call back to him in between gust's and prey another hen wasn't close cause no way I'd hear her if there was.
