Wow...got it in four hours? Impressive!!! :bowdown:
Thank you, but really got him in a little over one hour. I was about to head out of the woods to make it back for my daughters soccer game....hadn't heard a gobble all morning. Walked down to the field, and while on my way, heard a gobble on the other side and diagnonally from me. Now, usually this gobbler hens up and crosses the creek to get to some higher fields. (I hate crossing the creek......don't ask.) That day, he wasn't moving. Waiting for the hens to come was my guess. So, I played along and kept clucking and yelping, and he kept answering with gobbles. I walked along the field, about 30 yards back in the woods so the cagey tom wouldn't spot me. I'd slink up to the field every once and a while, call, then he'd gobble right back. After about 45 minutes of this, I got a good look at him and one hen about 75 yards away on the edge of the field. Practically crawled my way to about 15 yards in from the edge of the field, positioned my self, wanted to call again but realized I dropped my striker somewhere during the crawl, and he strutted for about 35-40 yards right to me (That was COOL!) and when I got the opening........................
I reminded my husband that there are turkey's in Hawaii!!!
