[QUOTE="mathews338, post: 4415636, member: 7771"] The woods were alive this morning. The most gobbling I have heard so far this year. Walked to the top of a big ridge before it got light and waited for the gobbling to start. Set up on a finger ridge that had what sounded like 5 or 6 toms on it. After about 15 minutes I found out that there were a lot of hens with them so I decided to back out and not waste my time since I had several more on back the ridge wearing it out. I set up on another bird where several ridges come together and honestly had birds on all of them but one was gobbling the most and I positioned myself to shoot him if he came. After a few soft yelps he answered and I could tell he was coming but slowly. All the sudden one sounds out behind me from where I just walked in and he is 80 yards and closing, I wheeled around fast and hit him with a couple more soft calls and I know it's a done deal cause he hammered just under a rise at 40 yards. Saw his red head top the rise and let him come on in to 20 yards and killed him at 7:15. Awesome morning! 19 lbs. 10" beard 1" spur on one side the other was broke half into. [/QUOTE]
