[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5889586, member: 10399"] Great thread idea. I just got back to the truck from my morning ass whipping in the river bottom. Had a decent idea where one would be roosted, and I nailed that part. Sat down in the dark at 05:00. He was 60 yards when he gobbled. Day broke and hens started pitching down and yelping 75-100 behind me. The gobbler is directly in front. Couldn’t ask for a better scenario. He finally pitched out and landed to my 1:00 at 35 yards, but behind a clump of trees. Gun up, safety off. He's walking the top of the levee left to right. When he comes clear, I can see his whole head but not much of his neck due to tall grass and the uphill angle from my position. His head is bobbing as he walks. I start tightening on the trigger, planning to touch it off the second he pauses. But before I got him killed, he stepped off the back side of the levee and his head dropped out of sight. I yelped a little more, just hoping to coax him back to the top for a peek. The hens yelped and cut and kee-keed and cackled at each other for another hour. But, as far as I can tell, the gobbler either evaporated or crossed the river. [/QUOTE]
