After going out 7 times and having turkeys skirt around us on high ground and never coming in, I had one roosted this morning to where I was in it's bubble. It flew down on the opposite side of a ridge, and I wasn't sure it was coming in. It started to circle that ridge. I went to the higher ground, because I wasn't going to mess around again.

All of a sudden it HAMMERS 30 yards away from me between where I was and where I was sitting! It sounded like a freight train being that close. This is when I blacked out and got tunnel vision at the same time. He was down over the edge, so I started raking leaves to try to get him to come in.

Then the angry/scared putting started, and he was headed back from where he came... I new it was going sour. I had to make a move. I start sneaking over the edge and I hear him as he's going from right to left.

I raise the shotgun as I'm edging closer. I let out a couple of soft clucks with the mouth call and he sticks up his head. He's in the red dot, but through a little brush, I can do better. He sees me, he bolts.

It's quiet, my body drains of adrenaline, I want to puke.

Had a successful run and gun turkey hunt today. Covered a quick mile or 2 until we located 2 birds in the same general area. We Initially went after the bird to the right but ended up w the bird on the left coming down to us. Got tucked in tight, semi vocal bird ... entered a small shooting window, 40ish yards away. Took the shot and here he is! 10” beard and 1” spurs. Tagged out with a few days left!
Till next spring thunder chickens!
