Title: Quick hunt
Post by: Fl Panhandler on April 04, 2010, 09:53:59 PM

Sat. Morning was super foggy at our camp in lower Al.  I wanted to work some planted pines that I had seen plenty of sign in over the years.  I thought I heard a gobbler sound off at daybreak, but with the thick, foggy air I just could't be sure.  I hadn't heard anything for sure so I set up in the pines to do some blind calling for just a bit.  I yelped a few times on a Hook's red mouth call from their Patriot Pack and boom, I definitely heard 1 this time.  I let a couple of min. pass and yelped some with a little cutting thrown in for good measure.  He cut me off.  I got myself in a good shooting position and a couple of min. later not 1 but 3 2 year olds came running in to be the first one to get to the "hen".  ! of them broke into a strut and then just as quickly came out of it.  He died at 19 steps.  He had a 9" beard, 1" spurs and a real lightweight.  He weighed 15.4 lbs.  I checked my watch after the shot.  It read 6:32 AM.  It was one of my quickest hunts ever.
