. 10.5 beard 1 inch spurs. 20lbs. 38 paces with the mossberg 930 longbeard #6 and carlsons choke. Didnt hear a thing all morning decided about 8 to move. Got to the new spot about 9 and thought I heard some gobbling but wasnt sure. Did a little calling some agree yelps and got a gobble but he was in a bottom sounded far away. We went back forth a little and thought he was coming till I seen him 300 yrds away on a hill and said it's over. Next thing I know it pops out about 150 away on full strut and figured that's it he is it in his strut zone. Then I watched him chase another bird around and lost sight of him. He then gobbled 2 times about 175 yrds away out of sight so I yelped aggressively and that was all it took. Between running towards me he he stopped and strutted twice then gobbled at about 50 yards in a little draw. When he came up the draw I put the vortex nlvenom on him and let it fly. While standing there admiring him here comes a hen that I'm guessing he left to come get my decoy.

Had a gobbler at 10 yards this morning. Just couldn't close the deal. He came in exactly opposite of where I expected. He put on a show but by the time I tried to swing on him, he knew something was up. Oh well, that's turkey hunting.

Well, we struck out the rest of the day. Not a peep. Found a single turkey feather on the walk out. I'm assuming from somebody else carrying one out.

I feel like it's going to be a good day.

Well, I was right. At least 6 different gobblers. Hundreds of gobbles from 7 am until I left them gobbling at 1:15. We went round and round, until they just flat wore me out. Mostly them setting up where they wanted to be and where they could see a good ways, and me not being able to do anything with them or even circle around for the other birds in the area. I've never had a hunt with this many birds in such a small area, and all of them gobbling.

I thought two of them were gonna stroll right into my lap when their hens came by at 35 yards, but they turned a different direction and led them away.
