I have had two great encounters with this bird, and both times he outfoxed me and won.
This morning I decided to try him again.
I set up my blind and decoys along a cornfield where a woods road enters the field.
The other day, he had strutted out to the field from here so I thought he may do it one more time.
At 5 he commenced to gobbling about 150 yds behind me by the swamp.
I let him gobble for almost 30 minutes before I hit him with 3 soft tree yelps.
He responded immediately so I sat and just let him gobble.
When he finally pitched down he gobbled behind me and to my left. He was close!
I gave him a few yelps to let him know love was in the air,and waited for him to show.
I spotted him coming in and I just let him come.
At 15 yds he was close enough and I folded him.
It was a classic hunt and I'm super pumped to outfox him this time.
19 lbs,9"beard and almost 1" spurs.
