[QUOTE="Stayinthewoods, post: 5100512, member: 21055"] Update: I went back one time about a week after and just sat quietly to see what happened without any action. Other than that, I stayed out of that area completely. Late Saturday morning I was about to start yardwork after breakfast and I could very faintly hear him in the distance. Ran inside, got dressed, and took off. Got to within 100 yards and called softly, gobble. Actually headed away from him due to the lay of the land and called softly again, gobbled in the same location. Walked about another 50 yards away from him and called one last time and immediately headed back towards him on a well worn trail quickly and quietly as I could. He didn't gobble the last time, but I wanted to convince him I wasn't sticking around. About 10 minutes later I'm still sitting there, the woods are dead silent, and he sounds off ten yards in front of me. I nearly peed myself. He had walked down our 4 wheeler trail that has a high bank on each side and couldn't see him until right after he gobbled. He walked right in front of my barrel and I sealed the deal. It was an exciting hunt. From start to finish it was maybe 30 minutes. But everything worked perfectly. I was able to break in the new shotgun as well.Thankful for another day in the woods! 20 lbs 11" beard 1" rounded/chipped spur, one broken almost flush [/QUOTE]
