Patience Grasshopper
« on: April 02, 2011, 09:24:22 PM »
Everything went right this morning. I got there well before daylight,walked to my spot,and sit down by A small tree the loggers left standing on the clear cut. About 10 minutes went by before the first gobble,then I heard several different birds for the next 15 minutes...Then I heard them fly down,about 100 yards away. A very short time later,I saw 3 gobblers moving in my direction,across the clear cut. There path would take them about 50 yds away from my location. When they got to the road I was setting next to,I softly yelped 3 notes,and the first 2 gobbled and broke down and strutted.While the last one kept walking my way. When he got 35 yards I pulled the trigger...As I set there and watched the other 2 gobblers walk off,I thought of what Zumer said,and A smile came across my face...Patience Grasshopper...I didnt need much this morning...I fired at 7:30 EST  What A morning!
