Old warrior

[gobblergetter]

Found a lonely gobbler that was in a field gobbling on his own. I parked at the farmers house and did a big circle to get in the best location to work him from.

First yelps from the trusty old box brought an instant double gobble and I knew he was in trouble. Every time I yelped with the mouth call he was closer.

Probably less then 5 minutes from the first call he was standing 30 yards in front of me and the holosite was on his head.

1 5/8" Spurs when measure along the outside curve

20 lbs.

9 3/4 " beard

Love it Mike! What hooks and paintbrush on that guy! 

"I knew he was in trouble" 

All the turkeys in your neck of the woods have no idea what's coming when you start to do your magic. 

Hey just to let you know, I took your advice on one of the posts you had said and enjoyed a turkey cutlet sandwich last night on a fresh seeded roll with mayo! Yummy! 

Congrats!

Might be on purpose for calling especially with a slate or a box call. 

For me, the Pressure applied is extremely important  for achieving the right tone

Funny how you msay the gobbler was in trouble when he did the double gobble. I would say he was in trouble when you got out of your truck. You are definitely the man when it comes to turkey hunting.
