Success today

Had a great hunt this morning. Got in my listening spot at first light and didn't hear a thing. I heard several birds last Saturday across the river and one on my side but nothing would work. This morning around 7 I heard one gobble that I thought might be on a point that goes out fairly far creating a bend in the river. Nothing came of it so I just called a couple of times as the morning went on. Around 8:15 I decided to move in the direction of the only gobble I had heard. I moved about 300 yards eased down a ridge finding some fresh sign. I set up there and on my second set of calls I heard a gobble. I gave it some time and he gobbled again so I gave him another yelp. After a couple more calls and him answering me several times he was getting closer down in the bottom below me. I got quiet and he gobbled below me so I gave him a soft yelp. He and another bird gobbled within 50--60 yards but I couldn't see them. As I watched I saw him peek over the ridge lip just to my right. I switched the gun over when he went behind a tree and waited for a clear shot. Bird down other bird flew off. Good 2 or 3 year old. 9 3/8" beard 1" spurs. When I got back to my vehicle I noticed he had 3 beards total. The other two beards were thin and short one was about 1 1/4" the other about 3 1/2". My first tribble bearded bird. I thanked the Lord for a great morning when I got to the bird. One more to go maybe I'll kill his buddy in the morning.
Anybody else still at it?
Good luck to ya.

Still at it. Birds still get tight lipped off the roost. I have watched him for 3 days and hunted him for 2. He takes a different route every day. He's following a hen and 4 poults. Gonna try him again Saturday morning

Congrats in Lumpkin! Woo hoo! There is still time and they are still gobbling! Hoping to get out Sunday AM.............So yea, I am still at it!

Awesome. I might try one more time in Lumpkin cty

Outstanding! Congrats on your late season gobbler!

Congrats on an awesome bird! We're still chasing another for pops. Good luck everyone!

Congrats on a fine bird. Y'all are a good bit behind us here in southeast GA. When I was there, the dogwoods weren't blooming on the mountains. Down in the hollows they were. Ours had been bloomed out a month before y'alls. Goes to show how different it can be just in a few hours away!!

Very nice going,congrats!!
