Solo Turkey Success!

[rossbowhunter]

I have been turkey hunting for at least 7 years, I have learned so much in having lack of success for the first 5 seasons, that I think I can say I can successfully get a turkey now...(2 years in a row, woo-hoo)...patience, persistence, and practice is key...

Anyway, had a last minute cancellation this morning, so I figured I would head out for an hour and see what was happening in the turkey woods. I got settled in and made a FEW calls around 7am, sat quiet and nothing, about 10 minutes later, made a very SOFT call, and that gobbler banged right on top of me, about 25 yards over my left shoulder......waited for him to get behind a tree, raised my gun and bang, dead bird.....so exciting...and such a rush..
