What an unbelievable trip! I decided to stay an extra day because I was on this particular bird. Roosted him last night in a swamp but was unsure of his exact location. I eased in there this morning in the dark and just sat down. Right at first light, I could hear spitting and drumming but no gobbles. I knew I had to be close or was making up sounds in my head. I tree yelped real soft twice on a Halloran walnut/wenge slate and he hammered back once. That concerned me a bit because several hunters were in the area. But about 5 minutes later he flew down, landed 30 yards from me and it was over. Time to head home!

I was wondering if you had the place to yourself.

Congrats on a trip that will be hard to top!

it wasn't terribly crowded with 20 hunters signed in, 6 birds taken overall.

Unbelievable trip! That's one for the ages. Glad you stuck it out another couple days instead of heading home after number 2.
 
Congrats Steven and an awesome trip! I was wondering the other day where you went as I hadn't seen you post in a while. I just see that you changed your username. :)
 
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. See any pigs while you were down there?

Didn't see any or any sign, walked miles and miles of firebreaks each day. They don't have any hog hunts at this WMA either.

Great job! What part of the state were you hunting? I am headed down this weekend for a wedding and want to sneak in a hunt

Southwest part of the state. 2 birds came off a WMA quota hunt and 1 from an open WMA. GA DNR knows their management. Much more management of habitat than I've ever seen on TN public land. Also doing pretty intense predator management. Just a program that I'm very satisfied with from the deer side to the turkey side.
