Today was my first morning to get to the woods for myself. It was a great and yet quick season. Much like mahone I got to the spot at 0610 which was a little late, but in this field they are a little later. When I got sat down there were 3 birds going off. I made a couple of calls and then shut up. The turkey that I made mine gobbled and sounded like he was coming. So, I adjusted my position to get my gun in his direction. Then I saw a head turning and bobbing, but it wasn't the big white head that I was looking for it was a hen. She came out looked at my decoy and wandered around it. Which put her out of site. Then the big white head showed up. He strutted and walked right at the dangerous end of my gun. He crossed the fence took about 2 steps half strutting and raising his head to check out my decoy. On the second head up look at the decoy I sent the #4's flying and he then was mine. Oh, by the way it was 0647 when I looked at my cell. 23lbs, 1" spurs, 9.5" beard
I thank God for His grace in giving me this beautiful bird.
