Default Thunder Chicken 4-19-14
Went behind my camp in St Francisville yesterday afternoon. Got on a big strutting gobbler in the field but he had other plans. But he put on a good show for us. Go back this am and hear him right where I knew he would be. He gobbled one time and wouldn't gobble again. We sat down and I let out a few yelps. He flys in from 250 yards away and lands in tree 30 yards from us about 50 yards up. Let out a few soft clucks and he pitched down like a wood duck on us cupped up. Hit the leaves 10 yards from us and my boy Oliver rolled him. His first turkey.
Almost time to start chasing big trout again.
