Rockby, congrats on the bird.

Well,I hunted last Friday and Sat., no turkey, but had a good time. The birds were gobbling on the roost, but went silent on the ground. Here in NC season isoveron Sat., good luck to all that have time left to hunt.

Well. I got my 2nd bird this evening! I got to the farm at 3:30 pm and it was a little warm with a light on, off drizzle. Saw the first tom at about 4:15 and no matter what I did, he wasn't leaving the hen he was with. Then about 5:30, I found a second tom in a large field at the back of the farm. I set up in the only spot I could without getting busted, but I couldn't set up a decoy without him seeing me. Started calling and he was steadily going away from me(about 200 yards). He was strutting and gobbling but with the wind blowing lightly, I guess since he couldn't see a hen then he couldn't get a fix on where she was. He dropped behind a little rise and I belly crawled out into the field and put out my decoy. Started calling again and he reappeared. He sees my decoy and clears the 250 yards plus in about 5 minutes. But then he moves all the way to the tree line I'm in, but 100 yards to my right. After about 15 minutes, I belly crawl back out into the field to see where he went. Yep... He's GONE! I had a feeling he was trying to get behind me, so I quickly move through the tree line to my rear and set up. Sure enough, there he comes and after about 5 minutes and a little light calling the deal was sealed. I shot him at 6:50 pm! It seemed like a long time, but it was definitely worth it! 20 pounds 3 ounces, 10 1/4 inch beard, 1 1/4 right spur and 1 1/8 left spur.
This is more like the size bird I wanted to bring in for the team!!!

Been struggling these past few weeks. There has been very little action on my property.....I took a crack at one that was a bit too far out. I will be out the 11th, hopefully it will pay off since it is one month after the date of my dad passing! Alot to deal with this season but good things come to those who wait.....Rob
