Opening day gobbler!
« on: March 13, 2010, 09:32:28 AM »
Man I had a heck of a hunt this morning!  Got to the woods late, got out of the truck and walked to my listening spot and saw 3 deer feeding and heard one gobble, went to him and saw him in the pasture by himself.   I got Daryl Slatons osage copper call out and gave just a couple of yelps and hear he come, but he hung up out in the pasture just over a little hill where I couldn't see him about 50 yards away.  I could sure hear him tho cause he was gobbling his head off, double and triple gobbling!  Well when I wouldn't come out of the woods to him he left, crossed a ditch and crossed another narrow pasture and into some more woods.  So I made a big loop and got on him again, and this time I pulled my Doug Morgan box call and gave him some yelps and he cut me off with a gobble, gave him one more yelp and he cut me off again, so I set the box down and waited, prolly no more than two minutes and he was flopping.  All in all this morning I bet he gobbled over a hundred times!  He liked that copper I got from Daryl and went crazy for that box I got from Doug,  Two great calls from two great guys and horny two year old gobbler, made this hunt one i'll remember a loooong time! ;D *bannana* 
I have to appologize to Daryl, I forgot to put your call in the pic with the turkey, I didn't leave it out intenionaly, just forgot to get out of my vest.  Doug asked me to put his call in the pic is the only reason I thought about putting his call in there.  Sorry buddy! *cry*
