Steve Lumma had a chance to come visit this weekend. Saturday morning wasn't productive as far as feathers flying but we got to see some nice country.
This old cedar snag may have a caller or two in it
We had a good visit at camp Saturday afternoon. Mr Dan Searcy, Doug Conway, Steve Lumma, Paul Lawson, and Clifford Rainbolt and his grandson Austin.
Steve happened to bring me something I ask for a while back. He has been giving me pointers for some time now. When I seen it I was blown away. I never expected something so fancy. I told him I was going to exclusivly use it to kill my next beard nomater how long it took.
Well it didn't take to long. Right at 3 hours to be exact. I called this bird across a steep holler along with a hen. I couldn't of ask for a better hunt. I set up on a bird and either a coyote or bobcat shut it up. I seen it but couldn't tell exactly which it was. This bird (the second one) was across a deep holler. I got up and slipped about 30 yards and called soft over the break of the ridge and went back to my spot and waited. In about 15 minutes the bird had crossed the holler and was strutting, spitt'n and gobbling 30 yards behind me and behind a pile of cull logs in a log deck. I got finally got flopped around and he was there for over an hour. Finally I seen a hen come out behind the logs and in a few minutes he was right behind her. He put on a good show at 20 yards. His back was to me most of the time but after a few minutes I couldn't take it. We looked eye to eye and the lord called the poor thang home.
