Got out at 4:45 Sunday morning. My plan for the morning was to run'n gun. Wait till i heard one then rush to setup on him. As it turned out this bird gobbled 150 yds from where i was standing. I got set ( almost too close, about 50 yds) and listened to him gobble his fool head off.I gave him 3/4 tree yelps and he cut me off so i knew he had acknowledged me. When he finaly pitched out he landed about 45 yds from me. I wanted him closer and was sure he would commit pretty quick as i heard no other hens for him to run off with. After a little cat and mouse with him leaving and me purring on my pot call to get him to come back, he finnaly broke and came off the slight ridge he was on. At 31/32 yds he stretched his neck out to look around for his "hen" and i unleashed my second 3" #6 Rem HD 20 ga load of the season. I had it all wrapped up by 6:20 in the morning. It was an awesome experience listening to him gobble. I bet he gobbled 125 times that morning before i killed him. His stats for those who care, 21 lbs 7 oz, 9 1/4" beard and matching 1 3/16" spurs.

Thanks all. BTW, what kind of tripod or camera pod does everyone use for talking self photos?? All the pics i took this year were self photos,which made things a little difficult,alot of deleted pics and ALOT of time trying to get everything in place while the camera was balanced on "something" precariously . With the last bird i just took a stick and "threaded" it into the camera bipod holes and jammed the whole works into the mud . I am looking for something small and lightweight that will fit into my turkey vest. So, whatcha all using?? Bill
