It had been 2 days sense I have even heard a gobble. So Aubie and I went to Shelbyville yesterday and chased a few but was on brand new land and didnt know how it laid. Got back in my woods this morning after rain last night. Slipped in next to a green plot on the side if a ridge and waited. The morning greeted me with 3 longbeards and some jakes roosted together with the hens up the ridge higher from them. Began playing with them and they never really got fired up. They moved down the ridge gobbeling so so, away from the hen talk and stood their ground for a little while on a knob below me. I tried a little of everything at times --a box, a Jenkins glass, a Joe Slayton mouth call, and finally tossed in the Buice ironwood trumpet, and they hit. Threw it at em again real fast and it was on. They begain their move to me.....I had set out a strutter and hen, they got to the point they could see it, and it was a race to me. It ended fast when I saw them, but they sure got fired up at Billy's trumpet today.

yall have to hear this story...
one of my best friends Aubie---is a cattle farmer and loves to chase turkey birds. Aubie has had a HARD season so far--he's been busy trying to get his daughter a bird so he has not had time for himself. We went to Shelbyville Sunday with grand expectaions of a full day in the woods together.
We were on land we had never even seen, and the birds just wouldnt get hot. We gave it till around 3 and left for the 2 hr drive home.
We was checking cattle after he got home, when he saw a big ole gobbler strutting in a lower pasture of his. He glassed and decided to try to put the "SNEAK" on it as he calls it. He didnt have a face mase, or gloves and had to put on a camo shirt for the manuver....
He had to walk a creek around the bird to get into postion. He had a big oak picked and got to it. He saw the bird at 40 yds strutting in high hay grass. He chose to sneak in the grass to the next big oak that would put him at less than 30 yds. He belly crawled in 2" of water in the low spot to get to the tree. He made it and the tree was big enough he stood up behind it. Looked around the tree and the ole bird was strutting with his fan blocking his view. He was so proud of himself for the sneak he put on him.
He eased his gun around the tree and proped for the shot....he spoke out hello out loud to get the birds head up, and he pulled the trigger. Nothing, not even a snap. The bird went back into strut so he pulled his gun behing the tree to see what was wrong with his heart racing!!!
His gun was unloaded....he got in a hurry and didnt load or even carry any shells for the gun. ROTFLMBO *lol*
He slipped away embarressed

I would laugh but did pretty much the same thing my very first time in the turkey woods. I called in three and decided to take the third as they passed by within 20 yards. I put the bead of Dad's Model 12 on the head of number 3, eased off the safety and gently squeezed the trigger only to hear the woods echo with the loudest click that I have ever heard. The three alarm putted off and weren't seen again that day. I was hooked on turkey hunting from that day on.

I believe that would make me sick...I would however, be camped out there with the gun loaded the next day!...You know...he might not like you telling on him!LOL
