I had the best day turkey hunting yesterday I have ever had. Im bow hunting from a blind and had gobblers near but not close gobbling at daylight. Shortly after flydown I hit some soft clucks and yelped a few times and had a gobbler hammer back...that was 624 am. I had him work in to 55 yards, way to far for a bow shot but got to see him. A huge old gobbler. Ive killed a 26 1/2 pounder and have my grand slam so I know my birds...this was a toad. He was also smart and old and knew that he gobbles and hens come to him...not one to run after hens...long story short, I had him inside of 100 yards from 624 am till 1245 pm...never got a shot but he gobbled and did everything possible to get me to come to him for the entire time. Headed back tomorrow to try again...I killed a 25 pounder 3 beards 1 inch spurs last week with gun.
