Who Else Tagged a Bird This Fall?

[DonBo]

While bowhunting one weekend, there were some goose hunters across the road from me.  Every time they fired,  the neighbors woods exploded with gobbles. (love hearing gobbles in the fall)  The next chance I got to hunt there, I brought my shotgun - just in case.

First light, there goes the guns and there goes all that gobbling again.  LOT'S of gobbles!  I waited an hour, just hoping a deer might show, knowing they wouldn't fly down for a while, then ran to the truck for my shotgun.  I set up between two groups of birds and waited. Didn't even have a call, so all I could do was scratch in the leaves and hope. 

Soon I hear leaves crunching. Closer and closer.  First bird to step into an open lane had about an 8" beard and I wasn't going to wait for something bigger.  At the shot the woods exploded with turkeys! They were running and flying and cackling everywhere.  Had to be 40 toms in this group.  What a great experience.

Let's hear your success stories.

Nice job I didn't see any this year while I was bowhunting

Last year the one year I didn't buy a fall tag I was sitting I the deer blind and had about 30 walk past me at 15 yards single file one by one.
