Well, for something different, instead of stories of killing, let's go over the times we've got our butt kicked by a gobbler.
I've got so many but let's start with the latest. Yesterday morning I went to my Uncles place where I've got a "V" blind setup for bowhunting where when he approaches you draw you bow and shoot him in the back as he walks past. I'm all set on a road that runs through the woods that they use a bunch and he's behind me gobbling, I'm calling every little bit real quiet and it's all going as planned. Then he shuts up and I don't know what's happening, I call …nothing. I'm waiting and watching and waiting, peeking behind me where I think he should come from then he gobbles at 30 yds in front of me, he'd circled around where I was. I'm exposed in the open front of the V and I see movement then draw my bow. He walks on up to within 15 or so yards and has to take one more step to get his head/neck clear for a shot and he stops! I've got the pin on the opening but he just stands there and he sees me and he just stares at me for what seemed like an hour. After that eternity he starts to cluck then he rearranged his wings and walked off the way he came.
