I nearly left the woods I was hunting because there were several other hunters in the same small patch of woods. We were calling to the same gobbler that eventually left the area. I doubled back and hoped to catch a wandering gobbler behind me and that's exactly what happened. I only had to call to him twice with my now very trusty snakewood trumpet. He came down a dirt trail spitting, drumming, and strutting the entire way. What a fun hunt. 21 lbs, 11.5 inch beard, 1 inch spurs. I would have let him put on more of a show but everything happened so fast all I had time to do was sit down and hold still out in the open. 25 yard shot. That's 4 gobblers so far this year with my trumpet.
