First Osceola Of The Season Down
« on: March 18, 2014, 10:13:36 AM »
First Osceola down for the season, one more to go.  We had rain for almost 24 hours, went out yesterday morning when the front was moving in and just left my truck walking down the woods road to get set up and a bolt of lightning hit pretty close so I turned around and went home. Back out this morning, woods still wet and the birds were quiet. Pretty moon breaking through the clouds. Did not hear the gobble; I did some soft tree yelps and later some yelps on the friction call and used Brian Mero’s trumpet this morning and it is deadly. He came in quiet from behind me hard and fast and put the brakes on when he spotted the DSD decoys. He was only 15 feet from where I was sitting; I was using a new Winchester SX3 with a Red Dot scope, he was so close I was afraid to turn on the Red Dot and I put his neck in the center of the scope and pulled the trigger and he went down hard. Beard 10 5/8 inches and the spurs were a tad under 1 ½ inches. Great morning to be in the turkey woods.
