[QUOTE="th88, post: 5060571, member: 16217"] I've had it had a few times. Killed one of them. All three instances I can remember, the gobbler flew in from his roost tree. The first time, I didn't shoot cause "ethics". I was gonna kill him when he flew down. He flew down and hit the dang ground running! No shot. Consulted with my old school turkey mentors and they told me a called in bird, not on his original roost, is fair game! Happened again but the 2nd time he was just a tad too far. He ended up flying over my head and landing about 80 yards away in some palmettos. A few clucks turned him around and he snuck back in. Third time.. real foggy morning. Bird gobbled a few times on roost and shut up. I eased off and went after another that was gobbling better. He shuts up. Silence for 1.5hrs. Fog starts to lift, original bird starts back gobbling. I ease closer...closer... I cluck a few times and he hammers. Sounds kind of off though? Next thing i know the gobbler comes flapping out of a big pine about 100 yards out and lights in a giant oak about 20 yards from me, 40 foot up. I smiled as I had been waiting on this day since I first passed that one up a decade prior. They make a funny sound falling 40 feet and hitting the ground. Bruised meat up some too. Pretty certain that bird never flew down that morning due to the heavy fog. [/QUOTE]
