FINALLY : the 3 year turkey drought is over ! ! !
Just after 5am, I heard a gobble from behind my Doghouse blind. Deciding not to put out decoys because of yesterday. Thursday morning, I had a tom gobble constantly around my decoys out range. Today I started calling and he responded and the response seem to be moving closer. Located on an open field with the forest behind me, he appeared on the edge. Seeing no decoys, he non-stopped gobbled. I purred called , which brought him in from 200 yds. to 100 yds. He sat calling across the field ,then at the bush for the phantom hen. Slowly creeping toward my blind, I decided at 45 yds. I'd give it to him. I hit him, he went down, got back up, hit him again. With damaged legs, he crawled to the edge of the bush. I sneaked my way up to him and at 15 yds. I finished him off !! Double beard 10" ; 4". with 3/4 " spurs ! WHAT A RUSH ! Still on cloud nine . Ray

Have been haveing the same problem
Yesterday had two diff. toms 160yds out from 6am till 2pm
no stop gobbling would not come any closer
to-morrow will try no decoys, the longer the season goes the smarter they get.
Congrats on your nice bird!
