What a weekend. Saturday we only heard a couple of birds gobble one time each. We rode 50+ miles with no luck except this one bird. We finally looked over a point and I seen one bird go around a ridge. I didn't think it was spooked. I got in front of it on the ridge and called twice, it came a running! I seen the white head and shot. 25 yards. Come to find out it was a jake.
Today, Sunday, My brother in law and I started at a spot and hear one gobble at a crow. It gobbled at everything, planes, crows, owles, hens and me. To make a long story short I called him in once when 2 deer came running off the mountain and spooked him. Then I called him in a again and could not get a shot. Out of position. Then called him in one more time and got him. Shot him at 60 yards. Worked him for 1.5 hours.
