[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5582747, member: 16537"] I will shoot the first two that come in. As far drumming, I can remember the first time I heard it, and can’t count the number of times I’ve used that sound to know there’s a gobbler nearby and killed him. The first time I got caught waiting on a field edge for the birds to gobble and one pitched down from the ridge above me and landed smack in the middle of the field and started gobbling the moment he hit the ground. He was maybe 100 yards from me, but it was so dark still that I was able to step into the woods and basically fall down. In moments there were probably 30 hens and 5-6 more gobblers in front of me that had sailed from the ridge down to the field…sounded like F15’s gliding down. Anyway, I was caught just laying there and all I could do was watch and listen. They got within a couple feet of my toes and I could hear every little squeak and pop the hens made and every drum the toms made. Two things I’ll never forget are the number of terrible calls the hens made and the sound of drumming. Totally changed my perspective on calling, knowing I didn’t have to be perfect, and hearing drumming opened up a whole new world. [/QUOTE]
