Today was my first of three days of turkey hunting on Ft. McCoy. The birds were quite active up until about 11:00AM. I had a group of hens with three gobblers come out on the trail about seventy yards from me. With some persistent calling and patience I eventually called all three toms within about twenty yards of me.
I had the gun up and the scope on the closest one, but decided to pass it up. After all I still had the rest of the day and two full days left to hunt, and I wanted to make the most of this season.
Later in the morning I did call in another tom to about ten yards from my location, but it was so brushy that I only got one glimpse of that bird. This bird came in how they should: constantly gobbling and coming straight at me on a steady pace.
