3rd day out since last week finally connected. Had one (maybe same bird) at 55 yards last week. Today We saw him struttin on a hillside and walked in above him. Sat up probably 300-400 yards from where he had been and set up decoys in grass a little off a cluster of trees. Usually not much for decoys but glad i decided to this time. Probably 30-40 minutes of on and off calling produced nothing, not even a gobble. I answered myself with a gobble on the box call and was answered a short time later from about 200 yards. I hit it again and this time i got a triple gobble, not sure if it was the same bird but it seemed he was gobbling on the run. Saw a hen kick out off to my left and he followed a short time later. He saw the decoys and came in on a string to the decoys. Shot him at 26 yards.
Buddy still needed a bird because he screwed up last week on one. The rest of the day was tough. Few birds out but they would only respond to a gobble and didnt care about anything hen related. Been a little different only hunting late season this year but i had opportunities and one finally worked out.
