Some turkeys are just that. Been hunting a couple that I had pegged as being so. They were always a pair, since the season opened on the 14th. These birds showed no sign of wanting to breed any of the hens they had in thir harem. and would spen nearly the whole day strutting in a open pasture. No call would cause them to alter course. I hunted these birds 6 or 7 tmes without success. Ended up going to a different part of the farm and chasing birds there, but for some reason decided to go back one more time. At leaqst one of then two was killable after all. 1 3/8" hooks on this one.  |

Reminds me of a story I read in one of Ray Eye's books.
A big Tom did the same thing every day, flew down into the middle of a big cow pasture, and flew back to the roost without leaving the middle of the field. The hunters came up with the idea of dressing up in a two-man cow decoy, so they could just walk over to the Tom and shoot it. Things went well until they were discovered by a love-sick bull. The guy in the back asks the guy in the front what they should do. Guy in the front says, "If I were you, I'd brace myself".
