First gobbler from my new house. Awesome hunt. Was about to throw in the towel and go home. Was walking the edge of a field and saw a hawk on the power line pole. Well he saw me and flew off and screamed. Well that caused a shock gobble. I set up real quick in some super thick brush that I could barely even see through. Threw 1 hen decoy maybe 15 yards out in the field. Hit a couple clucks on the box call and I see his periscope head pop up over the little bit of rolling hill. Called back and forth for awhile before he saw the deke and headed over. Like I said, the brush was really thick so I needed him to come right to the decoy to get a shot. Well, he didn't. Had him at 20 yards for probably 15 minutes and couldn't shoot. He gobbled so to me I could feel it. Well he eventually started losing interest and slowly walked away but was still gobbling every few minutes. I wait for him to look away and lean out into the field. 40 yards and as soon as his head went up he got blasted. Not a huge bird but definitely an epic hunt!

This is a great spot.used this stump for many photos thru the years. Birds roost  here every year early season. received_736673517831289.jpeg.d4e1a52760cdf23d1299d124770b386e.jpeg

It’s funny how they change favorite roosts from early to late season. Mid May and later into season, they roost on my 12 acre ridge. And strut and gobble all morning long. Probably bc the clovers are good and lush by then.. or the foliage too I’d imagine.

Yep they move down the ridge here as season progresses.. just a matter  of  listening in evening for fly up or turkey talk.. and getting use to walking out  in darkness
