Turkey 17'

[Okie4570]

We set up in gale force winds this morning, had no idea which canyon or trees they were roosted in, couldn't hear anything. I always carry a set of tree pruners, and just cut cedar limbs for blinds. We got all set up, sit down and glassed straight a head as it was starting to get light and I can see 5 black dots in the tree top not 100y away lol. 4 hens and a tom flew down to the north of us. When he was roosted, and when he was on the ground I could see him stretch out his neck and gobble, but I only actually heard him twice. He could care less about the calls of course, and about an hour after fly down, his lady friends led him right past us lol.

Sounds like a great hunt. I heard two gobbling Tuesday morning, neither wanted to work much as they had hens with them.

Got the wife her first tom today. Rough wind and all. I had to work cows this morning as per the normal it took longer than expected. Finally got gone around 3. Drove to the inlaws and hit some likely spots. Got a couple of answer gobbles and decided where to go. Got on the hottest gobbler and setup. Got him to put on quite a show for her. Another tom and two hens came in from the north. They really put on a hell of a show. I was set up 20 yards behind her and she finally shot. Smoked him clean never a flop. 10"beard 7/8" spurs and weighed 18.7 lbs.
