Smacked one

[catman529]

Lucked into a lonely late morning bird on Saturday. Actually hunted the same bird all morning off the roost. But he had no interest until 10am and I killed him around 11:45 am. My first Alabama bird. Heard 5 or 6 toms on the roost in all directions, none of them were close. This was the 2nd closest at 600-800 yard from my listening spot. He was within 100 yards of my final setup. He sure played games with me but finally came strutting into 25 yards. 3 miles from the truck.

Well done. Can't wait to see video. Public land birds make the private land seem like child's play.

Congrats on the bird! I've been hunting the same area you are in the last two weekends of March the past two springs. Those birds don't come easy! Good job.

Thanks y'all. It made up for the lousy hunting the weekend before.

there was a hay field upstream that had apparently been flooded and there were 6 or 7 round bales scattered down the creek bottom. I saw a fair number of trucks parked by gates but I had my spot to myself.

Looking forward to the video, I caught up on your vids today , watched the scouting ones and the Bama part 1 , and the pond fishing.

I have a feeling I know that WMA you were on the first weekend , I may have been on that one this past winter cruising timber if it is the same one I'm thinking of, looked like tough hunting with the roads everywhere. Lots of hogs though

Congrats!

This was the 2nd closest at 600-800 yard from my listening spot.

What happened to the closest one?

Great bird! Those Bama public birds are hard to come by, glad you got one.
