Close Call Again.

   So yesterday, I called up a Vocal and Unseen Gobbler that Skirted my position and Gobbled behind me- still unseen. I was using my Halloran Long Box.

  This happened  last year also in the same area. Could be the same Old Bird.

  I am going to give this Sly Devil another shot next time out.

  This might be as close as,I get in New Jersey.

I can’t dumb down a box call quiet enough when he’s getting closer. How close was he you guess? I run couple clucks and mostly purrs on the slate off to the side of my leg with scratching leaves around me. My Lynches 101 box call I’ve had for 40+ years rarely sees the woods.

  Less then 30 Yards. I was in the open Hardwoods and he moved through the Thick Green Understory. 

  I figure that Next time,I call from that Spot and get a reply,I will move into green understory and wait without calling more
