Addison got her first gobbler.

[reeltime]

Had the grandkids down to camp for the mentored youth season in pa.

I had tons of work to do so I went early to get stuff done and do some scouting before saturday.

We got in tight on the good bird I had found and had gotten eyes on so I knew what he was.

Just after we set up it started raining and continued till daylight, just as it stopped he gobbled below us but more to the east of where he had been the last 2 mornings.

I wanted to move the blind but we had 2 hens 50 yards out right on the edge of the field. He gobbled again from the limb so I gave some soft clucks and yelps on the bomber and he lit up the woods and flew down.

I gave him more yelps and clucks that he thundered back on. About 10 minutes later I see him crest the rise of the cut field. He works his way up to the flat and when he saw the decoy he went white and into full strut. He started drumming, his first drum was probably the loudest I have ever heard from a gobbler.

We had Addison on the field pod and the 20 ga. Was ready, he strutted right up and bumped the hen decoy from the front and worked around to the back of it and was trying to get on her back when Addison shot.......not only smokin the gobbler but also my avian lcd hen decoy....

Great job !! Awesome bird right off the roost... That's the way to teach em ! Holes in a decoy are a sign of a patient Hunter, and will be a conversation starter for your memorable hunt !
