Hunted 6 days this season
This bird was strutting out in a field with 6 hens. They were about 450 yards away from me when they came out of a cypress cut to feed and play in the pasture.
I called with a crystal call to get the loud call across the field. The gobbler lifted his head, went into full strut and slowly pulled all those birds in my direction. I thought for sure it wouldnt go down that way. Its usually the hens that pull the tom.
Anyways, I finished him up with the diaphragm. He came all the way in to the dsd hen decoy and hopped up on top of her. After the decoy fell over the hens started attacking it. I pulled the trigger on this guy and the birds just kept feeding around me not knowing what was going on....Ohh I love private land birds!
