The last hunt was the best. Afternoon hunt. Showed up two hours earlier than the turkeys had been coming into the field. Got all my junk together and started walking in. Got halfway down the hill when I spotted a hen already in the field. I side stepped into the woods and backed up about 20 yards. Started dropping the decoys and my vest when I heard the tom I was after gobble.
That changed my plans. I grabbed my gobbler decoy, assembled it and started crawling toward the field. Once the tom was in sight, I turned my head as far as I could and made a few clucks. The gobbler looked up and started strutting my way. I kept crawling towards him, varying my path, until I was 35 yards from him. I staked the decoy in the ground, raised up and dropped him.
I had seen the Primos guys do that on tv but never done it myself. I might have giggled a few times.
