Opening day was perfect....very little wind and sunny. I heard 4 birds on the roost but they never showed up.
Tuesday was windy and I never heard a bird. I called about every 15 minutes with no response. About 7:30 I got real aggressive and again no response. 2 minutes later I was looking to my right when I heard "thump, thump" to my left. I looked over at my decoy and there was a gobbler beating the crap out of it.
I had shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago so I have to shoot my gun left handed. By the time I got my gun and Trigger Stick set up the gobbler was destroying my decoy. I finally got him in my scope and down he went.
He weighed 24 lbs, had 1 1/8" spurs, and a 10 1/2" beard. I can't wait till April 17th to hunt Kentucky with a crossbow.
