Gobbler down in LaPorte county! It was kind of a last second deal as I was up north for my Great Uncle's funeral in Wanatah. I called my Bro in Law last night and suggested we get out early (as we needed to finish early, too).
The fog was thick and we headed out for the woods. Within the first few steps, we heard at least 3 gobblers on the roost. By the time we set up, at least a half dozen were sounding off in all directions. To my surprise, I heard fly down right at shooting light. A few minutes later, we watched two gobblers coming to my calls (mostly soft purrs from a custom walnut/hickory slate my buddy made for me a few years back) about 150 yds away. Within 10 minutes, I had my gobbler at 55 yards and dropped him like a sack-o-taters with my Mossberg 500A!
He went 22 lbs, 22 mm spurs, and had an 11.5" beard. Gotta love that Hevi-B!!!
