Another Mississippi Swamp Gobbler
« on: March 20, 2013, 09:30:09 PM »
I just got back from Mississippi. Birds were not gobbling and not ready for romance. We did manage to get three in gun range during the hunt. I killed this gobbler after David had left. It weighed 18 pounds, had a 9 1/4 inch beard, and 3/4 inch spurs. Not a trophy but he sure looked good coming in considering everything. I called in two gobblers using the Lonzo Trice black acrylic bronzed glass call with a Bill Lyman Ebony striker. Both birds came in silent without a single gobble.

Nice! You sure put the hammer down on him with that Nitro! I don't know how a swamp gobbler or any other gobbler could resist the hen talk you are producing with that call combo. As sweet as any I've heard. You make those gobblers appear when it seams there are none to be found.
