Had some fun today...

I had to take my walk at 1 today I had appointments this a.m. One being getting the studded winter tire off and mice nests cleaned out of the engine...So I am walking and listening Checking cams when I hear a very faint Gobble about a 1/2 mile away behind the neighbors house on the road below us.I decided to see how far my voice would  go and did some clucking sounds..Well he sounded off with multiple gobbles...So I decided to get to Rivers blind and got the brush pile fence between us and clucked and yelped as I walked to the blind. His gobbles were getting closer...I needed to open the blind up any ways so I opened the storm flaps and pulled down the plastic windows and called again. I threw on my camo sweat shirt  over my light blue blouse and waited...over on the neighbors land I see a shiny back and white head then another...I decided to remain quite and they milled around down on the edge of the swamp 70 yrds away for a while...gobbled one more time and headed down hill...A couple of nice Toms...I brought them in from a half mile away then got them to follow me...I'm feeling hopeful... Though I believe decoys will be essential this year...That brush pile fence will be a great tool this year...

Sounds like a great day!  That is some good calling!  I am lucky if I can hear anything more than 200 yards away!

This hill is funny ...sound travels so far!!!...once I got a call from a neighbor saying someone was having a hell of a party in our woods...went in nothing but I could hear it...actually better from his place than ours...got in the car and drove down the hill across the the next road over 3/4 of a mile away and then up over on the other side of the hill...It was a local camp ground having an end of summer bash...but from that neighbors front door you'd swear it was 200 ft away...lol

Glad you're on some birds as I've think you've mentioned birds have been no shows for you the most part so far this spring. A glimmer of hope for opener Look forward to you posting up ole Tom on what's for dinner thread.
