Saturday morning the alarm wasn't set right so I woke to a beautiful sunrise Jumped up and ran out of the trailer and there was a gobbler 200 yards behind the trailer gobbling his fool head off So I threw some cloths on, grabbed the gun and took off after him.. I thought I knew where he was but he ended up being a lot closer than I thought so I spooked him
Got my chit together and headed to another part of the property and slowly worked my way down a logging road .. I get about half way and sure enough.. there was a gobbler standing at the end of the road looking at me.. he spooked and ran So here I am 0 for 2 and the day just started
I worked my way around the road a little more and found a nice pine to set up against and started calling... 10 minutes later I have a gobbler at my 2 o'clock position getting fired up.. but, he sounds a good bit away.... I played with him for about 20 minutes when all of a sudden a gobbler fires off about 100 yards behind me.. so now it's GAME ON He only gobbled about 20 times and the last gobble was 20 yards behind my right shoulder,, I had my head twisted around doing my best to count & time his steps.. when he got behind me to where I couldn't see him.. I counted 1.... 2..... 3.... etc... in the same cadance that he was walking and at 10 I spun to my right.. Gun up.. and BOOM.. ROLLED HIM
I ran over to him and he had fallen head first in to a gopher hole with just his butt and leggs sticking out.. leggs kicking I sat there and laughed my azz off until he stopped kicking
