I’ll back up a little bit…at the beginning of March I lost one of my spots because a son-in-law wanted to hunt there. Fast forward two weeks ago I received a text saying he wasn’t going to hunt there because he cracked a rib so I was allowed back on. I never had a chance to scout it, but I had an idea of what goes on there.
It was a pretty quick hunt…he gobbled on the roost (which I had walked by) and he would answer my light calling. A hen started yelping at me from another direction and next thing I know she’s standing in my decoy spread! She ends up walking 10ft in front of me and I noticed she had a beard. She was clucking and yelping as she walked towards the gobbler. I gave a few more mouth calls and he responded on his way down the field edge. He came in with a jake to about 17 yds. I was softly yelping trying to get him to stick his head up, but they ended up both gobbling at it which was awesome! He finally spun around and I got a shot off!! There’s a link to the hunt.
