After hearings gobbles off in the distance all morning I had decided that the turkeys probably weren’t buying what I was selling. None of them responded to me so I browsed and posted my misfortune on Facebook. Five or ten minutes later I am startled by an earthshaking gobble somewhere very close by! I let out a few clucks and purrs and see a fan open up behind a log in front of me. A few moments later he spots my hen decoy and makes his move! I let hin have it with my Mossberg 12 ga before he can change his mind! My first bird and I am super proud that I was able to do it all myself!
