Woke up this morning and got geared up, waited for my buddy to show up, debated in going back to bed but decided to leave before it got too late. Turns out he slept in!
I only heard one gobble from the same area as last Saturday, then I heard him fly down. My buddy texted me upset with himself that he slept in. Told him I only heard one gobble and a hen. Rain was on and off lightly and 15 minutes later a lone tom emerged from the bush. I got my gun up as he headed straight for my decoys. A few minutes later and the hunt was over. Stats to follow once the wife looks away and I can bring the scale out to the garage

I don't hunt turkey, but I always see a lot on the move when it's raining! Congrats on the hunt!

Seems the birds like the rainy misty days this season in Ontario.
But that's okay, as long as we take 'em!!!
